During World War II, the family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana and then later to Indianapolis in 1950, eventually settling in Deedsville, Indiana in 1952, where Isabell quickly set up her beauty shop again.

At that time, she moved to California to stay with her daughter, Beatrice Isabell Ross. She loved to see the mountains, flowers, and birds of her new California home.
She was a kind and loving mother and a doting grandmother. Isabell grew up in Christian faith and raised her family accordingly, teaching her children and then their children about Jesus. She was a member of the Denver Baptist Church.
