October 12, 1927 – April 7, 2021
Isabelle Selina Cool was born in Calgary on October 12, 1927 and passed away on April 7, 2021 in her beloved hometown.
Isabelle was blessed with a full and wonderful life that was filled with love. She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Leonard. Len and Belle shared a home together in the Banff Trail area that allowed them to have an active social life with family, neighbours and many close friends. They had many adventures together and were able to travel the world always making new acquaintances along the way.
Isabelle was a loving and caring mother to her daughter Susan and was always supportive of her endeavours. She was a terrific mother-in-law to Sue’s husband Chris (Daniel) and readily adopted the entire Daniel clan as part of her own family. The two bright lights of her life were her grandsons, Christian and Stefan. She loved them so much and was extremely proud of her two boys, and would love to tell others about their accomplishments (because Grandmas are allowed to do that!).
Isabelle is also survived by her younger sister Yvonne (Hodak) and her three special nieces, Cindy (Pirt), Cathy (Hodak-Andersen) and Cheryl (Madden), as well as her brothers-in-law, David (Cool) and Keith (Parnell) and their respective families. Isabelle was blessed to have a lifelong friend in Connie Brooks. Belle and Connie walked many miles along the pathways of the Bow River and spent every Stampede together.
The last year of Mom’s life was difficult but it was made easier by the support and love that she received from the caring staff and Dr. Catherine McKenna at the Bow-Crest Long Term Care Home.
We will miss her dearly but we have so many wonderful memories of her which we will carry with us always.
