Isabella Scott

February 21, 1917 - December 31, 2018

Isabella Scott Grenier (Granny) passed away in palliative care on Monday, December 31st, 2018 at the age of 101 surrounded by her loving family. Isabella is predeceased by her loving husband Henry Philip Grenier (October 9, 1978), parents Andy & Helen Armstrong, siblings Meg, Violet, Ruby, Tom as well as grandchildren Scott Heptonstall and Amanda Long.

Isabella was born in Scotland, February 21, 1917 and came to Canada at 2 years of age on the Minadoso sailing ship. Isa’s family was her heart and joy. Her life was a living example of a great Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32, “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ”. Isa had a passion for the outdoors looking to the sky, climbing the Drumheller Valley hills, walks with her family, spending time gardening, baking, reading, going to That’s Crafty, yard sales and eating jelly beans.

If tears could build a stairway, we’d walk right
up to heaven and bring you home again.
Thank you for giving us the most wonderful
years and the most beautiful life.

And the story goes on ~
until we meet our Mother again.
We love you and miss you.

A Funeral Mass was held Saturday, January 5, 2019 at Saint Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, Drumheller at 1:00 p.m. with Father Fernando Genogaling officiating. Interment followed at the Drumheller Cemetery.

On February 28, 1993 Brian bought the acreage for his family where he and Linda made their final home. Pig roasts, Black Label beer, Merle Haggard, activities on the river and fireworks are a few of the things Brian loved, and he always spent his days doing what he loved the most. Anyone who knew him will greatly miss the stories and his gift of knowledge. Even with his Jekyll and Hyde personality Brian was generous, hard working and loved by many.
