Isabella Marsh Baldwin entered her heavenly home on September 9, 2024, in Mobile, Alabama at the age of 90. Born March 20, 1934, in Bessemer, Alabama, she was a cherished member of the Baldwin family and affectionately known as MeMe to those that love her.
Isabella graduated from Brooksville High School in May 1952 as the Valedictorian of her class, where she also played and lettered in basketball. She married the love of her life, David Eston Baldwin, on December 19, 1952, at Macon Presbyterian Church. She had a fulfilling career with Southern Bell, South Central Bell, and AT&T, which brought her to Mobile, Alabama in 1955. She retired in 1986 after 32 years of dedicated service. Her commitment to her family was paramount in her life. She loved helping with her grandchildren. After the loss of her husband, Isabella began traveling with family and friends. Her adventures included trips to serve with DBO Ministries in Guatemala, Israel, Alaska, Hawaii, and a partial transit of the Panama Canal.
