April 3rd, 1940-June 4th, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of Isabelle Robinson of
St. Albert on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025, at the age of 85 years.
She will be dearly missed by her sons, Don and Doug (Kathleen); sister,
Dorothy (Barry); nephew, Michael (Ariel) and great-niece, Anna; uncle,
Joseph (Dorothy); cousins, Gary (Connie), Linda, Blair, Dana (Mark) and
their children and grandchildren. She will also be fondly remembered by
her many friends who meant so very much to her.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 33 years, Ron, and her
parents, Joseph and Julia Onody.
Isabelle was born at home in the Badlands coal mining hamlet of Lehigh,
AB, and grew up on the family farm near Brooks. After high school, she
moved to Calgary for Secretarial College followed by a job at Calgary
Power. During this time, Isabelle met Ron, her best friend and life-long
love. They were wed in the spring of 1962 and established a loving home
in Willow Park, Calgary, into which they would soon welcome sons Don
and Doug.
In 1974 the family moved to St. Albert where Isabelle made many dear,
lifelong friends. She worked at Woodward’s department store for a few
years before spending a very fulfilling 17 years as an aide at Wild Rose
Elementary School. Nothing delighted her more than when one of her
former recess charges would excitedly greet her on the street, all grown
up.
At Isabelle’s request, no service will be held. Remember her at her best.
Memorial Donations may be made in Isabelle’s name to a charity of your
choice.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the wonderful staff at
The Citadel Care Centre for making Isabelle feel truly at home over the
last year with their unflagging and compassionate service.
