Isobel was born on November 6, 1933 to Charles and Elsa Wicklund in Neepawa, Manitoba. She was the fifth of six children. Mom's early years were spent in the Austin and Arden area where she attended school. With the death of her parents at an early age, she moved to Winnipeg to live with relatives there.

After working for a few years in Winnipeg and starting a family, they moved to Calgary and had stops in Sangudo and Edmonton. In 1967, they purchased a farm and moved back to Onanole, Manitoba. Mom worked as a campground supervisor for Parks Canada until her retirement. In 1997, she moved back to her hometown of Neepawa. Mom was always one to enjoy the outdoors. She enjoyed her flowerbeds and gardening. Some of her hobbies included camping, fishing, dancing, curling and snowmobiling. She enjoyed the company of family and friends and her house was always open and welcoming to visitors. She was warm and kind and her beautiful blue eyes and smile could brighten any room.

She is survived by her husband Walter; brothers: Donald (Dorothy) and Edwin; her children: Donna (Paul); Diane (Denis) and Laurie (Lori) and her grandsons: Scott (Lorena); Travis and Dylan and granddaughter Alyssa.
