Dolores Milam Isbell was born August 19, 1928 in McNairy County, TN the daughter of the late D. A. and Kate Belew Milam.
She was united in marriage to Henry Charles (H. C.) Isbell on April 15, 1945. Mr. Isbell preceded her in death on August 22, 2015, following 70 years of marriage. To this union eight children were born.
Mrs. Isbell worked for Brown Shoe Company as a machine operator in the fitting room until her retirement.
