Leave a tributeDear Ian, Liss, Narelle and Andrew
When I think back on my teenage years, so many of my memories involve your family. Your home was always somewhere I felt welcome and included, and you were all such a big part of my growing up and I'll always be grateful for that.
Melissa,
To my beautiful friend, we've shared so many memories over the years, and it absolutely breaks my heart knowing what you and your family are going through. I wish there were words that could make this even a little easier.
Your beautiful mum will always be remembered with so much love and gratitude for the warmth and kindness she showed me.
Sending all my love to a family who will always hold a very special place in my heart 🖤🤍🖤🤍November 03, 2026 7:01 pm

Sending my love and heartfelt condolences to Ian, Melissa, Narelle and Andrew during this difficult time ❤️
Isabel and I were classmates at St Mary’s school for the deaf children in Portsea. She was such a loving, cheerful and beautiful girl, always gull of warmth and kindness.
I have so many precious memories of Isabel coming to stay at my parents’ farm on some weekends. My parents adored her and always welcomed her with open arms. She was very special to our family.
I also cherish the wonderful memories of Isabel travelling from Warrnambool to Sorrento for our annual weekend get-togethers with Portsea women. We shared much laughter, happiness, and friendship together.
She had such beautiful smile, a warm heart and a genuinely kind nature. She touched so many lives and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Rest in Peace beautiful Isabel. You will be forever loved, cherished and remembered
With love and fond memories

Shocked and devastated to hear of Isabel’s passing. ❤️
Isabel was always smiling and had such a warm, welcoming way with all the little children at Portsea school.
We always looked forward to our Sorrento long weekend get-togethers each year, although sadly we haven’t managed to make it over the last few years. We cherished the times we spent together, listening to her lovely stories about her children and grandchildren, sharing laughs, and hearing about her line dancing adventures and caravan holidays with Ian.
So many beautiful memories and such a lovely lady who will be dearly missed.A beautiful photo of Isabel, remembering her just as she was — always smiling.
Rest peacefully, dear Isabel. You will always be remembered with love.

Isabel was a pupil at Delgany, Portsea, and I have always remembered her warmth, loving nature and, of course, her absolute passion for Collingwood.
Rest gently, precious lady. You will be fondly remembered. ❤️

Precious Isabel. We had so much fun together at St John’s library. You were my helper & you were the best book coverer in the world. I called you ‘Is a bell ringing’ & I can still see your huge smile when I did. We shared many moments together & I will always remember you as a gentle, astute, kind, most caring soul. Rest gently precious lady.
