Mary Katherine Isaacks

Mary Katherine Isaacks, 66, of High Island, Texas departed this life on Friday, May 7, 2021 after a long, brave fight against cancer. She was born on November 2, 1954 in Beaumont, Texas to Gilbert and Virginia Mae Emmons. Katherine went to Nederland High School and lived most of her life on the Bolivar Peninsula where she raised her four kids, loved to walk on the beach, and enjoyed planting beautiful plants and flowers. She also loved music, jewelry, shopping at thrift stores for t-shirts and cute knick-knacks, and spending time with her beloved fur babies: Bella, Missy, Ginger Mae, Stormy, and Punk. Her children and grandchildren brought her great joy and she always put them before herself. She was a lifelong believer and follower of Jesus Christ and her faith remained strong until her last breath.

Katherine is survived by her husband of 38 years, Robert Isaacks Jr; daughter, Alisha Cook and her husband, Jay; daughter, Angie McDowell; son, Robert Isaacks and his fiancé, Kelli; daughter, Kimberly Allen and her husband, Troy; grandchildren, Emerald, Austin, Melvin, Brandon, Olivia, Allison, Jessica, Madison, Aiden, Mason, and Travis; and great-grandson, Oliver.

She is preceded by her grandparents, Marvin and Katie Belle Turner; parents, Gilbert and Virginia Mae Emmons; brother, Thomas Emmons, and his wife, Connie; and son-in-law, Melvin Byrd.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 where Katherine was a long-time donor of over 20 years.
