Fougère,
Isabel Mary – The death of Isabel Mary
Fougère occurred peacefully on Sunday, November 28, 2021 at
Parkstone Enhanced Care, Halifax. Isabel was born on May 18,
1942, and was a daughter of the late Edmund and Imelda (Corbett)
Fougère. She is survived by her brother, Ronnie
(Anne Marie), Truro, sister, Bernadette (Lloyd), Port Hawkesbury and
several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Isabel was
predeceased by her brothers, Al and Edward
Michael.
Many of Isabel’s traits she lived by were passed on
by our parents’ example; her love of God, love of music and
especially her love of people. She was a magnet for anyone
she met – to share a good laugh or a tear. Her
person and house were always available to anyone in
need.
After graduating high school, Isabel entered the Sisters of
Charity. She served as a teacher for 20 years.
After leaving the community she maintained a close connection with the
sisters often assisting them with various liturgical
celebrations.
Isabel was a teacher and graduated from Mount St. Vincent
University (Education Degree), University Notre Dame (Masters in
Liturgy), Dalhousie University, (Masters in Music) and St.
Mary’s University (Masters in Education).
She taught in Vancouver and in many schools in Nova Scotia,
ending up in Halifax. She had students in festivals, choirs
in at ferry landings, in pedways at museums, Citadel Hill and the
Commons in an effort to have fun while performing and sharing our
maritime heritage. She took her students
to nursing homes, shopping centers, Christmas Daddies and Churches:
anywhere that appreciated children’s choirs. She
directed the Mount St. Vincent choir and the Dartmouth Choral
Society. She performed with her keyboard at funerals,
baptisms, weddings and church liturgies.
We would like to thank the staff of Parkstone Enhanced Care
for their care of Isabel and a special thank you to her niece, Monique
who worked very hard to make Isabel’s life more
comfortable.
