  • Spending time at Aunt Izzy’s was so special. She gave you responsibilities on the farm and around the house. Even as a kid, she made you feel valued and “grown-up”. Feeding the cats always at least 20, brushing the horses they were SO BIG, bottle feeding baby calves, bringing in the hay Uncle Bob on the tractor, running our horses up and down the long driveway on Lower River Road, the poodles and calico cats, family reunions with great food, Uncle Jack stretched out on the extra long couch after dinner, playing Kanuga and Black Jack with pennies, the willow tree in the side yard, the pond, Angus cattleremember Big Daddy, she always drove the most comfortable cars, learning how to plant annuals and bulbs she always had a beautiful yard,she could type faster than anybody I ever knew,the matriarch of our family after Grandma’s passing…some of my best childhood memories. Aunt Izzy, you were always there for us. We love you!

  • Izzy was a very special person to me! We had alot of good times when we went out to eat. One of my favorite memories was when we would go out for crab and Izzy would meticulously clean her crab, and put it in a little round circle, and we would eat the crab in a messy way! Enjoyed Izzy very much. I will miss her and her beautiful smile. My prayers are with her!

    Love,

  • I had the honor and priviledge of working with Izzy for several years at Battelle. She was not only a very competent and professional secretary, but more importantly just a nice person. While her fame was for her apple pies, her home grown horse radish was the prised gift that she gave me each year. One could cry just looking at the jar. I shall always remember our years of working together. She will be missed by many.
