Dear friends
I regret that I must bring you the sad news of Isabel Muzichuk's passing last Tuesday after a brief illness. Isabel was one of the first, and most active people in Saskatchewan to oppose industrial hog barns. She was active in trying to stop the Rama barn, and continued her activism through Hogwatch Saskatchewan and with Beyond Factory Farming. She was also very active in protecting our water, and was involved in the union movement through her career in nursing and as a retiree.
Isabel wasn't one to use the internet - rather she would phone and talk to people or get in her car and go to meetings. Her insight, dedication, and passion for justice have made a big contribution to our community, and her spritely humour, enthusiasm and laughter will be missed by all who knew her.
Below is the obituary that was published in the Leader Post, as well as the link to her family's guestbook, if you would like to send a message of condolences.
Sincerely,
Cathy Holtslander
