Isabel Pellerin

Isabel Frances Pellerin, age 89 of Schertz, Texas was born to eternal life on Thursday, August 8, 2019, surrounded by her loving family including many of her children and grandchildren.

Isabel was born on February 17, 1930 in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin.  She was influenced early in life by growing up during the Great Depression and her strong Catholic upbringing.  In 1951 she married a handsome Airman and began to travel the world, having several children along the way.  In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, she dedicated much of her life to helping others and volunteering.  She was recognized for her volunteer work with Family Services, the American Red Cross as a “Candy Striper” and as a head elf for Elf Louise.  She was a member of St. Mary’s Sodality, NCO Wives Club, where she headed the NCO gift shop, International Women’s Club, and Toast Mistress.  She served as VFW Auxiliary President and served on the Housing and Urban Development board in Schertz, TX.  Even with all these responsibilities, Isabel demonstrated her devotion to her children as a Den Mother for the Cub scouts, Room Mother for her daughter, and as the School Health Chairman for Kadena Elementary School in Okinawa. At the age of 57 she decided to attend Community College in San Antonio, where she made the Honor Roll. During this time, she discovered her passion for theater, as an actress in local plays and was awarded for her talents.  She loved animals, especially her beloved pet dogs. She was an avid reader and loved to listen to music and dance around the house. She unknowingly touched many lives with her candid, endearing, joyful, and humorous heart-to-heart conversations. Isabel will be remembered for her self-deprecating and blunt humor that was very hard to resist.

She was preceded in death by her husband CMSgt Raoul Pellerin, Son Timothy Pellerin, Daughter Christine Pellerin, Father Clifford Sadler, Mother Hilda Sadler, Brother George Sadler, and Sister Marie Birmingham.

She is survived by her Sons; Raoul Michael Pellerin of Austin, Patrick Pellerin with Wife Nola of Ingelside, Thomas Pellerin with Wife Donna of Brenham, John Pellerin of Schertz; Daughters, Francine Young with Husband Steve of Round Rock, Mary Heimer with Husband Frederick of New Braunfels, Sister Barbara Camden with brother in law Pete of Milwaukee and Sister in Law Marge Sadler of New Berlin Wisconsin, brother in law Robert Birmingham of Greendale, Wisconsin, 18 Grandchildren, 18 Great Grandchildren, and numerous Nieces and Nephews.
