FEDOSOFF, Isobel Jean (nee HARPER) - With sad hearts we mourn the passing of our beloved "Izzie".
She was one of the kindest, most thoughtful and most generous people ever.
She passed away peacefully in her sleep, in the early morning of August 30, 2023, with family around her.
Izzie was born in Timmins, Ontario and moved to Toronto at age 6.
She attended Branksome Hall through High School.
She summer skated at Lakeshore Lions Arena in New Toronto, and boarded with Alan Eagleson's family, and later with Cliff and Joan Lumsden. This is where she met Bill (William), the boy next door, for a summer romance.
After the Ice Follies, she reconnected with Bill purely by accident in Toronto outside the old Brown Derby restaurant at Yonge and Dundas.
They spent 2 years partying at University of Toronto and at Bill's fraternity. They married 2 months after he graduated from dental school in 1963.
Izzie and Bill had an amazing love story that spanned over 60 years.
She was the best mother to Lindsay and Bradley; and an amazing "Nana" to her grandchildren, Carling, Noah, Dillon and the late Abigail.
She will be reunited with her mother, Isabel; grandmother; granddaughter, Abigail; her brother, Winstanley (Red) Harper; and sister-in-law, Marion; and brother-in-law, John. She is survived by in-laws, Fred and Nancy, Eddy and Alice, and Sharon.
In lieu of flowers, donations by cheque may be mailed to the Abby Fedosoff Memorial Foundation for youth mental health at: Benefaction Foundation Attn: Abby Fedosoff Memorial Foundation 83 Harbord St. Toronto, ON M5S 1G4
A private burial will be held for family and close friends, and a Celebration of Life will take place in October.
