Izetta was affectionately known by her family as “Poochie” and by her friends as “Izzy.”
Izetta accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She was very active in church and often held Bible studies with friends and co-workers. Izetta loved blessing and giving to others; especially with her works she did by keeping her “hands busy.” She often made rugs and blankets from her love of crocheting. Whatever anyone needed, Izetta would find a way to make sure you had it. Izetta also loved entertaining and spending time with family.

Friends and neighbors of Izetta have expressed feeling blessed to have known her and will forever cherish the friendships that were established.
