Isabelle Weaver

Isabelle Weaver, 97, of Fargo, North Dakota, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2026, at Ecumen Centennial House in Apple Valley, Minnesota.

Isabelle Johnson was born on July 13, 1928, in Christine, North Dakota, to Eddie and Augusta (Oslie) Johnson. A gifted musician, she pursued her passion for music by attending Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she earned her degree in Music.

Throughout her lifetime, Isabelle shared her love of music with many. She was a member of the “Gal Friends,” performing on WDAY TV, and she also dedicated her teaching talents to the West Fargo school district before her marriage. In addition to her formal teaching, Isabelle offered music lessons in her home, fostering a love of music in the next generation for nearly 40 years.

Izzy lived life with gusto right up until her last years. One of her favorite places was Ottertail Lake at the home of her sister Lucy’s family. A great day for her was a swim in the lake, a ride on the pontoon and a paddle in the kayak, passions she pursued into her 90’s. Isabelle was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Weaver, and her son, Dick. She is survived by her children, Kevin (Linda) Weaver of Detroit Lakes, and Jane Archer of Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as her cherished grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in Isabelle’s memory to a local music program or charity that reflects her passion for music and education.
