Isabelle Genevieve Sweeney, age 87, of Cape Forchu, Yarmouth, NS, passed away peacefully at Yarmouth Heights on August 13, 2024. She was born March 16, 1937, the loving daughter of the late Laurent and Emilie Muise of East Quinan, Yarmouth, NS. Isabelle was predeceased by her husband Fred Sweeney, son Gordon, brothers Gordon and Gerald, and sisters Alice, Lucy, and Celeste. She is survived by her sister Anita Banks (Gary) and her brother Lionel Muise (Emmy).
«Izzy» enjoyed nothing more than relaxing at home: sewing, cooking, square dancing, choir, CWL, TOPS, crib tournaments, the occasional excursions, and watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. In the summer, she became one with her camper, sharing laughs and good times with friends and family. Her pride and joy were her seven children: Gordon, Arlene, Ivan, Dexter, Jean, Jane, and Edward. She loved and treasured her 17 blessed grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Her talent and love of cooking transferred into a career starting at Harris’ Quick n Tasty, the baking of many a wedding cake, which eventually led to her and Fred becoming partners in running the Rainbow Restaurant and Dairy Dip. Dad ran the ice cream room, and she was in charge of the kitchen and staff.
Isabelle loved family and friends. She was a kind, thoughtful, and quiet woman who was game to try just about anything, which often surprised people. The door to her home was always open. Even though she was busy with raising her large family, there was always room for one more plus and always an extra potato in the pot. If someone went away hungry, it was their fault.
Isabelle (Mom, Grammy, Sister, Aunt, or Izzy) will be missed but never forgotten. Memories of her will forever remain in our hearts .
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Sweeney’s Funeral Home Crematorium, Yarmouth. In lieu of flowers donations in memory can be made to IWK and/or the Gilles Boudreau Foundation.
