Isabel Lillian Kase

Isabel Lillian Kase was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 11, 1935, to Lillian and Ralph Miller. She was the middle child between her sister, Margaret Bourquin, and her younger brother, Ralph Miller. Isabel graduated from Glen-Nor High School in Glenolden, Pennsylvania, in 1953, where she was voted “Best Looking” in her class. Upon graduation, she worked as an Executive Secretary for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Through her cousin Charles, Isabel met the love of her life, Bob Kase, while Bob was attending the United States Naval Academy. She enjoyed taking the train from Philadelphia to visit Bob, attending balls and events at the Academy in Annapolis. They were married in June of 1957 and relocated to Athens, Georgia, where Bob began his Navy assignment. Following their time in Athens, they relocated to Norfolk, Virginia where their first son, Ron, was born.

Bob and Isabel returned with their Navy assignment to Philadelphia, where their sons Dave and Rob were born. Isabel and Bob later made their home in Chicago and then Roanoke, Virginia. No matter where life took them, Isabel always created a warm, welcoming home filled with love, laughter, and faith. Isabel’s greatest joy was raising her three sons and being surrounded by family. She took great pride in her role as a mother and homemaker, and she found purpose in nurturing others and serving her Savior. She was a loving grandmother to her eight grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren, dedicated to praying for each, daily, as well as sending encouraging emails, and jokes. She often had a funny story to tell, as she told her family "she loves humor". Isabel had many interests including playing tennis and Bridge. She also enjoyed selling World Book Encyclopedias and Avon. She was active in her church and community, serving faithfully as an Awana leader, Sunday School teacher, Prayer group leader, Women's Aglow, Tea Party, Pray for America, and supporting both local and international missionary ministries. She was a devoted member of Penn Forest Worship Center.

Isabel will be remembered for her devout faith in Christ and dedication as a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Her prayers, encouragement, and unwavering love will continue to bless all who knew her.
