Isabel S. Cash passed away in the early morning hours of February 19, 2013 at her home at the Oak Crest Retirement Center, after a brief illness, at the age of 94.
She was born May 20, 1918 in Joliet, IL to Richard and Mary Stoops. Isabel had a beloved older sister Mary Margaret and brother Marshall. The family later moved to Jacksonville, IL where she graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1936 and received a degree in English at MacMurray College in 1940. She obtained a Master's Degree in Student Personnel Administration at Columbia University in New York City in 1941.
She began her career as a freshman/sophomore English teacher at Glenbard High School in Glen Ellyn, IL in 1941. In 1943, she joined Northern Illinois Teacher's College (NIU). She advanced into the role of Assistant Dean of Women, a position she held until 1953. She remembered her years at NIU fondly and remained active in several university related organizations.
In 1952, Isabel married Francis Cash, who was a World War II veteran and local attorney. They resided on Thornbrook Road in DeKalb, and had two children Mary (Frank) Lewis and John (Kathy) Cash.
Isabel?s devoted husband of 44 years, passed away in March 1996.
In 2003, Isabel moved to the Oak Crest Retirement Center in DeKalb where she was very happy and actively engaged with her friends and neighbors.
Isabel was a member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in DeKalb for over 63 years. She was devoted to her children, her grandchildren; Mark (Tiffany) Haigh, David (Tania) Haigh, Michael Haigh, Kimberly Cash, Daniel Cash and Jeffrey Cash. She recently became a proud great grandmother to Vivian Maria Haigh.
She was an avid reader who also enjoyed swimming, travel and visiting family. Known for her kindness, positive attitude and quick sense of humor, she will be sorely missed by her loving family.
A memorial fund, to honor her memory, has been established for the First Congregational United Church of Christ in DeKalb and The Salvation Army.
Visitation was held Thursday February 21, 2013 at the Ronan-Moore-Finch Funeral Home at 310 Oak Street, DeKalb, IL.
The Funeral Service was held Friday February 22, 2013 at 10:30 in the morning at the First Congregational United Church of Christ at 615 North First Street, DeKalb, IL. Following the service, Isabel was interred, next to her beloved husband Francis, in the Fairview Park Cemetery in Dekalb, IL
