She will be sadly missed by her brother George "Buddy", as well as many nephews, nieces and friends. Predeceased by her parents George and Hazel Cummings, her brother Bruce (Donna) and her sister-in-law Lorna. Isobel was very devoted to her faith and family. She was the church secretary for the St. Andrews United Church, Cumberland, for many years until she retired. She volunteered for many community groups and activities including the Women’s Institute, St. Andrew’s United Church Women, Navan Fair and the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum to mention a few. She loved to cook and bake for her family and friends. Her special birthday cakes were a big treat and surprise to all.
