Isabelle James-Clark

Isabelle Nicole James-Clark, fondly known as Bella Butts, sissy Baka, snookums, and the ever endearing silly little goose, was a beacon of light for all who knew her. Born on October 13, 2006, in Centralia, WA, Isabelle was a person whose very essence was a testament to the wisdom in the scripture she so admired: "Above all else, guard your heart, for whatever you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23). It was clear that Isabelle guarded her heart with great care, for what flowed from it was nothing short of remarkable.

Full of laughter and joy, Isabelle was the embodiment of the adjectives funny, loving, humble, and thoughtful. She had a knack for bringing humor into any situation, her laughter being as contagious as her radiant smile. Isabelle had an undying love for her family, friends, and her beloved cats. Her humble nature was evident in the way she lived her life, never seeking recognition, but always striving to make others happy. Isabelle was thoughtful in all her actions, always considering the feelings of those around her. She had a love for concerts and cherished any opportunity to create beautiful memories with her loved ones. During her time at MTS High School, Isabelle was an active member of the Bike Club and Future Farmers of America (FFA), showcasing her dedication to community and passion for nature.

Isabelle was a resident of Bonney Lake, Washington for four memorable years. Her life, though short, was filled with moments that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew her. Isabelle is survived by her mother, Danielle James; father, Richard Clark; aunt Cheryl Starr; auntie, Rosie Ulrich; uncle, Eric Ulrich; auntie Melissa Rutherford Starr, auntie AJ Starr, uncle Tony Rutherford, uncle Maynard Starr, uncle Amil Starr, uncle Jimmy James Starr, cousin Michelle Baker and siblings Trinity Ulrich, William James, Allison Carbajal Starr, Samantha Ulrich, Gabriella Nelson Nate and Natalie Clark.
