Isabel Mae Flannery

Isabel Mae Flannery Our cherished mother died on October 4, 2014, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's. She was born on February 2, 1932 to Charles and Isabella Sensenbach in Philadelphia, PA. She is predeceased by her parents, sister, Mary Jane Angell and beloved horse, Skippy. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Marion "Flan" Flannery; eight children, David Flannery, Karen Holland, Joan Flannery, Chip Flannery (Julia), Paul Flannery (first Angela, now Tiffany), Bill Flannery (Tammy), Chris Flannery (Jennifer) and Mindy Flannery (Deb); 17 grandchildren, Jennifer, Gary, John, Melina, Quiroz, Shannon, Jessica, Christina, Leahann, Paul Michael, Breanna, Beau, Kyle, Brandon, Alicia, Zachary and Megan and 23 great- grandchildren, Noah, Jaxon, Grayson, Ethan, Nicholas, Kaity, Annemarie, Thomas, Angel, Mariah, Alize, Junior, Marilyn, Serenity, Trinity, Zachary, Ciarra, Aedan, Kaitlynn, Noah, Madalyn, Zoe, and baby girl, ETA February 2015. Our feisty, silly mother loved cats, penguins, horses, Christmas, casinos, Hawaii, anything chocolate and a good margarita. She played tennis; she roller skated; she bowled in leagues and hiked out to the Ranch School. She loved to "bake" in the sun; she did "snow dances" for her grandchildren, as if she could control the weather. She was an avid fan of the U of A Wildcats, especially basketball and softball. She opened her home to people and pets in need and dedicated her whole life to her family. Our family would like to thank Shady Lane Living and Valor Hospice for their kind and compassionate care. Per her wishes, she will be cremated. Private family services were held on Thursday, October 9, 2014. Arrangements by HUDGEL'S.
