Obituary for Isobel M. Mansfield
Isobel M. Mansfield, 91, passed away peacefully on Wednesday April 17 at her residence, Ann’s Choice, Warminster, PA.
Born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada to Dr. Andrew J. Manson and Alice Bell Manson, she was a 1949 graduate of Acadia University, Nova Scotia. Isobel worked for Sun Life Insurance Co. of Canada, Montreal; DuPont Co., Wilmington, Delaware; and, for many years alongside her husband as executive vice president of their consulting firm.
Isobel married Richard (Dick) G. Mansfield of Philadelphia in 1955 and enjoyed a long and happy marriage of 62 years before his passing in 2017. Isobel and Dick lived in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and greatly enjoyed traveling the world together. Following these trips, Isobel would often give slide-show travelogue presentations to friends, sharing the fun and learning of their adventures. They enjoyed their Gourmet Dinner Group and Investment Club, and Isobel was also an avid bridge player. She enjoyed life and will be fondly remembered for her many stories of growing up in Canada, her positive attitude and spirit, and her encouragement of others.
She is survived by her daughter Debra Dane, brother John Manson, sisters-in-law, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Isobel’s name may be made to either the Benevolent Fund or Scholars Fund at Ann’s Choice, 30000 Ann's Choice Way, Warminster, PA, 18974.
A memorial service will be held at a future date.
