Isabel V. Suarez, 81, passed away Friday, August 7, 2020 in Houston, Texas. She was born in 1938 in Cuba to Spanish immigrants Antonio and Manuela and was the wife of the late Jesus J. Suarez.
In 1961, after Cuba was overtaken by a communist regime, Isabel and Jesus left their once vibrant life in Cuba with their two young children to start a new life in the United States. As a young professional, Isabel enjoyed an exciting career as a commercial artist. She had a passion for fashion design, painting and sketching and loved to spend her time with family, friends, traveling the world and volunteering within her community.
Isabel is survived by: her children, Jesus F., Isabel, Stephen and their spouses Nancy, Syed and Lindy, respectively; grandchildren, David, Sarah, Suzanne, Shaun, Chelsea, Stephanie and Kaylee; great grandchildren, Zain and Alexandra; brother, John and his wife Zulima; nephew and niece, John and Michelle.
Isabel was a fun, loving, kind and beautiful woman who cherished her family. She will be laid to rest at Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery next to her husband, the love of her life.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
