CUMBY, Isabel (Byrd)
Born In: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Born: April 5th, 1937
Passed in: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Passed on: August 26th, 2016
Passed peacefully away at home on August 26, surrounded by her loving husband Eric of 56 years and all of her 5 children - Judy, Barbie, Mike, Jill and Brenda. Isabel was a gentle, loving soul who always found good in everyone and all who met her felt her warmth and acceptance. Family was always the centre of Isabel's existence. She was born in Grand Falls, NL and grew up believing she had the best family and the happiest life.
After graduating from Notre Dame Academy, Isabel embarked on her first of many adventures and headed to Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, NS where she studied Secretarial Science. Upon completion, she returned to Grand Falls and took up employment at the mill.In 1960, she married Eric and they decided to pull up stakes and move to Indiana for Eric to pursue his engineering degree. It was here that their first child, Judy, was born. From there, they moved on to Illinois where they added both Barbie and Mike to their fold. Eventually, the call of home became too strong to resist and they headed back to Newfoundland where they completed their family with Jill and Brenda. They remained in Grand Falls for 20 years where Isabel focused on raising her family, totally enjoying her job at the Roman Catholic school board and actively participating in St. Gerard's Guild. In 1987 they moved to St, John's, where she worked at the Cabot Institute of Technology (now CONA) and remained in NL until Eric's retirement in 1992. They then decided to embark upon yet another adventure and headed North this time, to Inuvik in the NWT for 3 years where again, they made many new friends and lasting memories.
After re-retiring back to NL, Isabel enjoyed shallow water fitness, bridge, Catholic Women's League and more travels to visit family and vacation spots. Isabel's faith was the foundation of her being and it gave her great comfort and strength to face whatever challenges arose in her life. Her raison d'être was her family, always her family; she truly was the family's heart, compass and anchor.
Left with cherished memories and a lifetime of peaceful guidance are husband Eric; children Judy of St. John's; Barbara (Ian) MacLean of Fall River, NS:, Mike (Lisa Hickey) of Greenville, South Carolina; Jill of Halifax, NS; and Brenda (Steve) Wall of Kensington, Connecticut; grandchildren Danielle (Prashanth) Ramanathan, Alyssa, Kevin, Karina and Amelia MacLean, Sam, Luke, and Emma Cumby, Zack and Amy Wall, and great-granddaughter Kaila Isabella Ramanathan.

Isabel was predeceased by parents Daniel and Mary (Lewis) Byrd, brothers and sisters Jack, Art, Rita Eisenhauer, Marguerite Linney, Marie, and Danny Byrd, grandson Eric MacLean, mother-in-law, friend and mentor Mabel Cumby, and special sister-in-law Mona LeDrew.
