on December 10, 1929. She met her husband of 53 years, Bill Stoney Smallwood, 
who preceded her in death, in San Diego when he was serving in the Navy during 
the Korean War. They relocated to Alexandria, VA, where two of their four 
children were born and then moved to Bakersfield in 1957. Isabel loved her 
family, gardening and singing. You could often find her cleaning her house 
with music playing loudly singing or puttering in the garden with her roses or 
gardenias or her newest flowering favorite. She raised four children and has 
helped raise her eight grandchildren who she loved dearly. She was also 
involved in the American Legion 682 Auxillary and often accompanied her 
husband, Stoney, who served as both a Post and District Commander. Isabel is 
survived by her daughters, Sonja Bennett and husband, Brent, Lydia Carter and 
husband, David; and sons, Bill Smallwood and wife, Laurie and David Smallwood. 
She is also survived by eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and her 
sister, Francesca Soto-Rosales of Colima, Mexico. Visitation will be Sunday,
