Born September 24, 1931, Isabel was the daughter of Caroline and Stephen Gnibus and sister to Paul Gnibus, Raymond Gnibus, Anna Brodrick, Martha Gnibus, and Mary Palguta. Isabel married Edward Anderson in 1951 and they had four children: Carol (Tom) Vanscavish, Mark (Shelly) Anderson, Greg (Paula) Anderson, and Patrick (Lynn) Anderson Isabel was also a proud grandmother to 10 grandchildren: Stephanie (Patrick) Graham, Mark (Amanda) Anderson, Chris (Pam) Anderson, Melissa (Matt) Bolyn, Jennifer (Phat) Nguyen, Joshua (Rachel) Anderson, Michael (Mychen) Anderson, Meredith (Damon) Franz, Sarah (Dean) Kapple, Angela Bianco and 17 great-grandchildren: Sydney, Tenley, Bexley, TJ, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Halle, Lexi, Kassler, Azlyn, Avery, Kohen, Aiden, Kenzlee, Arlyn, Zachary, DJ and granddogs: Kenna, Bibs, Burton, and Lewis.

Isabel, affectionately known as Izzy, enjoyed activities that revolved around her husband and boys, including supporting them at their sporting events, camping, and fishing. While her boys were hunting in the woods, Isabel enjoyed hunting for deals with her daughter at Boscovs. Isabel and Edward also enjoyed polka and their involvement with the Good Timers. Every Friday morning, you would find Isabel and friends getting their hair done with Amy and the girls at Evolutions Salon, who provided her with joy, laughter, and companionship (especially in her later years). However, everyone who knows Isabel knows that cooking was her true passion, and she enjoyed showing her love to family and friends by preparing them delicious meals. This passion for cooking also carried over through her involvement with the Red Barn Sportsman's Club Women's Auxiliary
