Memorial Service for Isabel Fleming

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

On Saturday, May 7th at 1:30pm there will be a memorial service for Isabel Fleming at Westminster Presbyterian Church (170 Steel Street, Barrie, ON). Isabel was an active, joyful and faithful member of the congregation for over 20 years. She was a meaningful and committed member of many groups and outreaches, and graced our weekly worship services as a part of the choir. We miss her greatly, but rejoice that she is now with God and is free from all pain and illness. She rejoices in the powerful and peaceful presence of God! Isabel passed away on June 1, 2021. However, since that was during a lockdown period as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, a decision was made to hold a memorial service at a later date. The service will be both in-person and live-streamed. For those watching online, they can go to Westminster's YouTube channel here when the service starts to follow along. For those attending in-person, there is no need to pre-register. All attendance limits have been lifted, but we continue to ask that guests wear masks as an added safety precaution. The service will include some of Isabel's favourite hymns, prayers, and words of gratitude from the family and from Rev. Ruttan. There will be no formal reception after the service. However, there will be a receiving line to greet the family. You may read Isabel's full obituary here.
