Obituary of Isla Mae Broadfoot

With humble hearts we wish to announce the peaceful passing of Isla Mae Broadfoot on January 21, 2024 at 96 years old.

It is impossible to encompass all that Isla was and did in the space we are allowed. Of course she was a dedicated and hard-working wife, a gorgeous woman, always keeping a warm and welcoming home. She was a generous, caring mother, grandmother, auntie, and sister. She was adopted by many varied people who couldn’t resist her gentle ways. As a daughter she was unequaled, a feisty tomboy and a beautiful girl, always helping with any chores that needed to be done on the various farms she grew up on. And she always made her parents proud. How can we express how much she was treasured by everyone that was blessed to know her.

Isla was an excellent cook and her home baked bread and cinnamon buns, scones, pies and cookies, were always devoured as fast as they came out of the oven. She was an avid gardener, a painter of houses and pictures, a seamstress and busy knitter, making clothes for the entire family and strangers alike. She loved a walk in the fresh air whether in the forest or beside a lake, and she absolutely loved to go for a drive in the mountains to enjoy a picnic someplace where flowers grew. In her sixties She became a silly ten-year-old girl when she was sliding down an icy hill on giant innertube.

Isla was predeceased by her first husband Norman Johnson, and her second husband Jim Broadfoot. Tragically she also lost her daughter Heather and sons Darwin, Daryl and Barry and Son-in-Law Carl,  through the years, and that was a lot of loss for one mother to endure.

She is survived by her daughters Sharon, Charlene (Fred), and Lynda (Steve), and by her sons Gordon (Toni) and Keith (Shannon). In addition to 12 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews.

We all rejoice with the knowledge that she has entered the rest that she so very much deserves, that she was embraced by all those waiting for her in heaven and we are confident that she that is tending the flower gardens in heaven, laughing with the Lord.

For those that are left we are all thankful for the wonderful moments and memories that she has given us to have until we all meet again.

Service will be held at the Valley Christian Assembly – February 1^st, 2024
