ISABEL MUÑOZ

Grandma passed peacefully in her sleep on Monday, August 21st, 2023 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Isabel was predeceased by her loving husband, Aurelio, daughter Graciella, Sisters Candela and Maria Luisa, sister-in-law Conchi. Left to cherish her memory, her daughter Begonia, Grandson Derrick, her sister Isi, sisters in-law Rosa and Pilar, countless nieces and nephews in Spain, Germany, and the U.S.A.

Grandma was born in the small village of Berzocana in rural Spain and came from a very humble upbringing. Moving to the big city of Madrid as a teenager, my Grandmother met the love of her life, my Grandfather. My Grandparents decided to embark on an adventure with two young daughters, and immigrated to Canada in 1968, Grandma loved her new home. Grandma was proud of the life she built here; her house she worked so hard for, and family she cared for more than anything else. Grandma had many hobbies and interests, including gardening, knitting, traveling, and enjoying meals with family and friends. Grandma had such a love for life, which was impacted due to recent declining health. She was always an optimist and would say “We will do that when I get better”. My Grandmother was built differently. She was the strongest person in my life and still living independently at 90. I love you Grandma and will miss you for the rest of my life. Grandma had a strong faith, and I can only hope she is reunited with family that she has missed deeply.

A very grateful thank you to all of Grandma’s wonderful homecare workers, including Coco and Rebecca. You all made such a special impact on her quality of life, and I thank you so much for that.

A special thank you to her beloved niece Susie in Florida. Grandma enjoyed many long phone calls with you, especially during this last year where mobility was more difficult.

A private service will be held for family.
