“Goodbye is not forever. Goodbye is not the end. It simply means I'll miss you until we meet again”. -Unknown
After fighting courageously for over five years, Isabel “Izzy” Marquez Campbell lost her battle with cancer on March 6, 2022. She was born on March 23, 1958 in Cortez, Colorado to Manual and Stella Marquez.
Izzy was the most selfless person, always willing to help others and always thought of others before herself. Izzy always had a smile on her face. She worked for Community Action for 15 years in Kellogg at the food bank. She went on to work for North Idaho College for 22 years until she retired. While working at NIC she received the Sterling Silver Award twice. She loved working at NIC and was loved by everyone.
Izzy was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure to know her. Izzy loved to play Bingo! If you mentioned going to play Bingo, she would be the first one in the car! She also loved to play Yahtzee and, no matter how ill she was feeling, she would never turn down a chance to play.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Alice (Chad) Bailey of Post Falls, Idaho; son, John (Debbie) Mascarenas of Mount Pleasant, Iowa; grandchildren: Chaz (Ashley) of Post Falls, Idaho; Rachel of Post Falls, Idaho; Ayla and Harley of Mount Pleasant, Iowa; Justice (Marcelo) of Italy; Evan (Kadie) of Mount Pleasant, Iowa; great-grandchildren: Izzie (and now Emilia) of Post Falls, Idaho; Everley, Raynlynn, and Zander all from Mount Pleasant, Iowa; sisters: Angie Dow of Faust, Alberta, Canada; Rachel Marquez (Rod Thomas) Kellogg, Idaho; Yvonne Barron of Pine Creek, Idaho; Olivia Church of Elko, Nevada; stepsister-in-law, Jackie Ivers; brother, Ronnie ( Judy) Marquez of Lewis, Colorado; and numerous nieces and nephews.
