I'm so sorry to hear this news. Thanks for sharing.
|
Sad indeed. kja, thanks for posting the link to that beautiful obituary. Somehow I missed her beautiful photography. My loss.
|
What a life well lived. Thanks for letting us know.
|
Thanks for letting us know this sad news. I also enjoyed Isabel's travel posts and especially her beautiful photos. She lived in western MA in an area I know well because of family ties and I liked her pictures of that area as well as her travel photos
|
Thanks for this, kja. Too soon to lose such an incredible person.
|
Sad news indeed. I enjoyed her photographs and travel comments.
Nice to see you kja. Here is a link to isabel's photo galleries on pbase. https://pbase.com/annforcier/root |
My fave shot of hers was that 'crepe-flipping cutie', a tweener girl working at her family's food market stall somewhere in France.
Had noticed Isabel's absence these past year. |
I couldn't recall if I ever had any interaction with Isabel but it's always sad to lose a fellow fodorite.
Zebec I do recall that picture so until I saw your reference of it, I was sure I wasn't familiar with Isabel. Glad to know I was wrong. |
Was Isabel her fodor’s name?

She last posted in late June so it must have been pretty sudden. What a shame. I never met her in person but we exchanged several PMs over the years about her trips to England, Yosemite and the California coast. |

So sad for the family to lose such a beautiful person.
|
Very sad to hear the news. Her photos were stunning and her willingness to share them won't be forgotten. RIP,, isabel.

What a sad loss, and a well-lived life beautifully captured in this obit.
|
This is so sad. I always looked forward to and enjoyed isabel’s trip reports and photos and will miss her.
Thank you, kja, for sharing the link to that lovely obituary and Nelson, for the link to her photo galleries. |
Oh what a shock. I’ve pored over her photos, reports and posts many times over the years.
Such a full life. A great loss. |
This is terrible news. I met Isabel in Lisbon in 2006. She lived in Massachusetts, as do I, and I always assumed we would meet again. Her photography is wonderful, and she was a lovely woman. May her memory be a blessing.
|
So sorry to read this. Never met her, but followed her many TRs and her gorgeous photos. Thanks for posting, kja.
|
I've not met isabel nor am I familiar with her posts but the artistry of her photos speaks volumes about her. May her memory be a blessing.
|
So, so sad to read this. I have always loved her trip reports and her fabulous photos. I’ve found her reports so very helpful when planning trips. This is heartbreaking to read.
|
AMEN ! A lovely person and a fine contributor to the beauty of this Forum and her world.
|
It sounds like she lived a very full life. Her obituary was beautiful, someone wrote it who loved her very much.
|
Isabel had passed
I was totally shocked to learn about the news today from the recent resurrected thread:

I was strangely shocked to see this thread resurrected. A Fodor's poster PM'd me a couple months ago with the sad news that isabel had died.
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries...ry?id=36009992 She generously shared her photos and impressions of the places she visited, always transparent about her particular interests and why they might not be relevant to everyone. Although I never met her in "real life," I liked her. May she rest in peace. |
Cherthor, thank you for bringing up this thread. It's nice to remember Isabel. I always clicked on a post from her knowing it would be insightful and her photos were such a pleasure to view. So many places I would never see without them.
|
I am shocked and saddened to hear about Isabel’s passing. I remember her trip reports and beautiful photos very well. In fact, I used many of her trip reports to plan my trips.
I was wondering why she hadn’t posted on Fodors since the pandemic, and now I unfortunately know why . Thank you for letting us know. |
|
Thanks, kja. I missed that the first time around. Definitely a loss to this forum.

@ Cherthor: IMO, it was good of you to share the information, since a number of people seem to have missed my post. Thx.
|
Yes, very sad. She was an amazing inspiration and help to many. I have her photo blog bookmarked.
|
Merged the 2022 and 2023 threads
|
I feel such sadness to learn of her passing. I really enjoyed her trip reports. Her photography was beautiful. I will miss her. Goodbye Isabel.
