Linda Jean (Johnson) Isabelle, 73, of Manchester, died peacefully October 10, 2021 surrounded by her family and pets after a short battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

She was predeceased by her husband and high school sweetheart, Ronald A. Isabelle in 2015, and is lovingly reconnected with him now. Family members include her children, Kristi Scarpone, Jeff Isabelle and Rebecca Isabelle; five grandchildren, Jeffrey, Jeremy, and Gabrielle Isabelle, Anna and Ella Scarpone; sister, Rebecca Gelinas; her forever family, Michael Scarpone, Tara Isabelle, Alasdair Cotter, Jason Ormsbee and all other unoffically adopted children along the way; and fur babies Mylee and Kali. SERVICES: Visiting hours at Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory, 1799 Elm St., corner of North St., Manchester, will be Saturday from noon to 2 pm, followed by a service in the funeral home chapel at 2 pm.

Jeff and Tara, I am so sorry for your loss. I got to know Lin when she joined the YFS group and had lots of laughs with her. And we shared a lot of family life stories. I'm glad she is with her beloved Ronnie now. Rest in peace dear friend.

Lin, you will be greatly missed. I was lucky enough to get to know you thanks to your daughter-in-law Tara (Tarabell, as you called her)! You were such a kind soul and loved your family very much. I will always remember our fun times at the pool with the kids and our trips to girls weekend!

To the entire Isabelle Family, We are so saddened to hear about the loss of Linda. We did not know her or all of the family well, but in reading all the condolence messages and now living in the beautiful home she and Ron built for all of you, we feel connected in a way. We knew from the moment we stepped foot into the Cohas home that it was abundantly filled with amazing memories, love and laughter. Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, not only during this time, but always. <3 (Ronnie's Tree will always be here and we'd gladly add any memorial to his tree or "Linda's" tree, along with both mine and my husbands Father's).

Kristi, Jeff, and Becky,
My heartfelt sympathy to you. I loved your Mom and Dad and always enjoyed the times we spent together. Once we moved out west I didn't get to see them as often as I would have liked. I miss them still.

I did not know Lin very well, but her husband Ron was in our class of 63, Manchester Memorial High School, and Ron and Linda came to all our class reunions. They sat with my husband Jim and I at our last reunion in 2013. The only reunion they missed was the one when we almost lost Ron. As Secretary of the class, I was able to be in touch with Ron often, and could tell how much they loved each other. Lin was a lovely lady and such a good person. I am so sorry for your loss, but as a person of faith, I believe she and Ron are together again. God will watch over them and welcome Lin into Ron's arms. Shirley Mitchell Delacoe, Auburn, NH

You were a wonderful and special woman and I will miss you dearly! To Tara, Gabby, Jeffery and Jeremy, I love you all so much and am here if you need anything! To Kristy, Beck, Jeff, Anna and Ella, I am sorry for your loss and hope you know she is at peace with Ronnie! Deepest Sympathy

Jeff, Tara and family. I am saddened by this news and am certain memories shared with your Mom, Mother-in-Law, Grandmother and Friend, will carry us through this most difficult time. Tara, a special thank you for including Lin in our "Girl's Weekends" and affording all of us the opportunity to get to know her. Lin shared her love for all of you. Tara, Lin, thought of you as a daughter, where you held a special place in her heart; find comfort in knowing that.
It is time now for Lin to rest in peace, in the arms of her beloved Ronnie.

Kristi, Jeff, and Becky...so very sorry to read that your mom has passed. She was an absolute doll, with a fantastic "undercover" sense of humor. She was also a terrific lady to work for back in the Classics days. May her memory be a blessing in your lives.
