Isabelle Delfino dos Santos Perez, 51 anos, nascida em 29 de setembro de 1973, no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, faleceu em paz em sua casa em Fairfax, Virgínia, em 16 de julho de 2025. Ela era a amada esposa de Leonardo Pio Perez e mãe de Philippe Delfino Duarte e Manuela Delfino Perez.

Nasceu e cresceu no Rio de Janeiro, mas durante sua vida adulta morou em muitos lugares — Rochester, Nova York; Brasília, Brasil; e na região de Washington, D.C.

Ela demonstrava amor e paixão em todas as tarefas, desde cuidar dos filhos até trabalhar na padaria do Wegman's e ser voluntária em bancos de alimentos. Sua compaixão não tinha limites, e ela doava seu tempo e energia para os necessitados.

Ela fará muita falta a todos que a conheceram. Isabelle será lembrada por seu humor radiante, seu espírito acolhedor e suas playlists impecavelmente selecionadas. Características que permaneceram inabaláveis mesmo durante sua doença.

O serviço de cremação será realizado às 8h da terça-feira, 22 de julho, na Carewell Cremations (2929 Eskridge Rd Ste N, Fairfax, VA 22031).
