Dolores Milam Isbell

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. She enjoyed attending "ballgames" in which her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren played-she was their number one fan. Tending her beautiful flowers and working in the vegetable garden were also among her favorite activities. Mrs. Isbell was a Baptist in faith and loved going to church at Forty Forks.

Mrs. Isbell departed this life on July 9, 2022 in Jackson, Tennessee at the age of 93 Years, 10 Months, 20 Days.
