Isabell L. Shaw Ross

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Isabell L. Shaw Ross was called home on December 28, 2016 to the awaiting arms of her beloved husband, Augustus. Isabell passed away in the comfort of her own home with her beloved cat Lucky by her side. She was a fighter, as stubborn as they came, but she won in the end. She will be missed by her neighbors, who always stopped by to chat as she ‘held court’ on her Andrews Street porch. She is survived by her three children, Carol A. Pulver of Sarasota, FL, her son, Augustus J. Ross III and his wife Diane of Saratoga Springs, her daughter, Barbara Ross-Cassidy and her husband Timothy, also of Saratoga Springs. Her husband Augustus, a brother, John, sister, Jayne, son-in-law, Kenneth, and a grandson-in-law, Levi Jenkins all preceded her in death. She is survived by her two sisters, Joy Shaw Tucker of Texas and Dawn Shaw Vitek of Florida, eight grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Sara Mattison for always being there in her time of need, and also Community Hospice of Saratoga. Isabell’s Granddaughter, Kyla Jenkins, was always there to brighten her spirits and spending time with her great-grandson, Alex. Calling hours were held on Sunday, January 1, 2017 at the William J. Burke and Son/Bussing and Cunniff Funeral Home at 628 North Broadway in Saratoga Springs. A funeral service was held on Tuesday, January 2; burial followed at St. Peter’s Cemetery, West Avenue in Saratoga Springs. Contributions in Isabell’s name may be made to Community Hospice of Saratoga Springs, 179 Lawrence Street, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
