Isobel
Lindsay Bartels Jul. 17, 1922 - Oct. 10, 2011 Resident of Alameda, CA
Isobel Bartels, a life long resident of Alameda, went to be with the
Lord on October 10, 2011 at the age of 89. A graduate of Alameda High
School, Isobel "Nelson" married her high school sweetheart Vernon
Bartels a year before he shipped overseas during World War II. Shortly
after his return, they were blessed with two children, Jeanne and Don.
Isobel worked at the Alameda Naval Air Station as an executive secretary
for about 20 years and then, to everybody's surprise, she became a
journeyman jet engine mechanic. Isobel loved to travel, read, eat out,
listen to music and go to movies. She enjoyed everything Scottish, was
an active member of Eastern Star and loved participating in Eastern Star
events. Isobel and Vernon were also enthusiastic and faithful church
choir members for many years. More than anything, Isobel cherished her
family and the many friends she made throughout the years. After Vernon
passed away, Isobel moved to a smaller apartment overlooking Crown
Beach, then later to Water's Edge Lodge on Bay Farm Island, and finally
to Golden Care Assisted Living on Bay Farm Island. She leaves behind her
beloved family: Her daughter Jeanne Cogan, son Don Bartels, son-in-law
Ed Cogan, daughter-in-law Sharon Bartels, grandchildren Jeff Bartels and
his girl friend Jen Magowan, Dave Bartels and his wife Katie, Christine
Cogan-Mesa and her husband Moses Mesa, Mike Cogan and his wife Elaine
and their son David Sean, Isobel's only great-grandchild. A memorial
service in celebration of Isobel's life will be held at 2 p.m. on
Saturday, October 22, 2011, at First Presbyterian Church of Alameda,
2001 Santa Clara Avenue, Alameda CA 94501
