Isabella Frances Spain, 20, of Merrimack, NH, beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend, passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2024. Born in Boston, MA on April 24, 2004, she was a daughter of Padraic and Cheri (Bari) Spain.
Isabella was raised in Bedford, NH and was a 2022 graduate of Bedford High School. She was proud of her career at Fidelity Investments, where she started as a customer relations advisor and worked her way up to an advisor for high net worth clients, most recently serving as a fraud specialist.
Isabella was a beautiful soul who loved nature and the outdoors, especially rock climbing, crew, and hiking. Her creative talents knew no bounds – she loved to write songs and skits, play guitar, draw, and paint. She enjoyed music, reading and word puzzles. She was an “old soul” who had a deep love for her family, spending time with her friends and her pets and was fiercely protective of her loved ones. Isabella was wise beyond her years and will be remembered as a kindhearted person full of goodness and love who always thought of others before herself.
Isabella is survived by her parents, Padraic and Cheri Spain of Florida; her brother, Kellan Spain of Florida; her grandparents, Rosalie Bari of Florida and Michael and Marie Spain of Manchester; her aunts and uncles, Mari Vasan and her husband Ashwin of Florida, Barbi Dunaway of Florida, and Bret Bari of Florida, Catherine Andersen of Manchester, Anne Fitzpatrick and her partner Barry Fitzgerald of Manchester, Elizabeth Foss and her husband John of Manchester, Mick Spain and his wife Erin of North Carolina, and Liam Spain and his wife Janet of Manchester; as well as many cousins, extended family members, and friends. She was predeceased by her grandfather, James Bari; her cousin, John Andersen; and her beloved dog, Kaya.
