I asked my Nana why the clouds were pink sometimes.  She said, "The angels are making cookies." –Melanie Isbell

Heaven has a new cookie maker in heaven.  Jimmie Lee Isbell, age 80, of Iowa Park, Texas, passed away Thursday, February 20, 2025, in Electra Memorial Hospital.

Jimmie was born May 8, 1944 in Electra, Texas to the late James Conard "Jim" Robb and Fannie Mozelle Bryant Robb.

She was a 1962 graduate of Electra High School.  After graduation, Jimmie attended the Wichita General School of Nursing where she became a Registered Nurse.

Jimmie married Michael Anthony Isbell on March 6, 1965 in Electra, Texas.

She started her nursing career at the Wichita General Hospital and worked at several hospitals across the state before moving to Iowa Park. Jimmie loved pediatrics.   After moving to Iowa Park, she began working for the Texas Department of Health as a Public Health Nurse where she became an inspector of nursing homes and complaint inspector until her retirement.  Jimmie was very dedicated to her profession and continued to maintain her nursing license even after retirement. According to her, she worked too hard to obtain that license and wasn't about to give it up!

Jimmie was a very giving person.  She loved baking breads and cakes to give to others.  Jimmie was also known for sending many, many cards for every occasion.  She enjoyed hummingbirds, cardinals and traveling.

Jimmie was a dedicated member of the First United Methodist Church in Iowa Park.  She was active in various church activities, but Operation Christmas Child was very important to her.  Jimmie lived her faith and always had a smile on her face no matter the circumstances.  She was a positive influence on everyone she encountered, but especially her nieces.
