Mathilda Susan Isaac

Life Sketch Mathilda Susan Isaac was born to Nathaniel and Caroline Isaac on March 17, 1933 in Tobago, West Indies. She was the 2nd child of 13 siblings and was raised and educated in Tobago. Mathilda took great pride in assisting her parents by caring for the younger siblings and maintaining an immaculate home. As a young adult, Mathilda, relocated to Trinidad where she worked as a caregiver for several families tending to the needs of their children. This gift of nurturing led her to assist friends with their children; she fondly recalls taking care of Maureen, Michael, and Pheadra to name a few. It was a joy for her to aid in the care of her younger siblings so much so, she took on the guardianship of her sister, Maura for several years. Mathilda migrated to New York where she obtained a job as a Nanny for Sarah and Josh the children of Susan and Alan Bleviss. They adored Mathilda and she loved working for them. She went on annual vacations with them and enjoyed the adventures. After retirement, she moved to the Virgin Islands with her sister, Maura Marshall. She purchased a home and lived a relaxing life in the islands. A few years into retirement, Mathilda was asked by her niece, Ava, to spend a few months with her family to assist in the care of their newborn Kayla. Without hesitation she said sure and relocated to Maryland. She grew fond of all the children (Kayla, Kamilah and Kamal), and agreed to stay for a few more years until Kayla was ready for school. Those few more years, turned into the rest of her life. She loved the children as if they were her own. She eventually developed dementia and forgot many names, but she never forgot the children’s names and always expressed how much she loved them. God has a purpose for each of us and His purpose for her was to be a loving caregiver. She did not marry or have children, but she shared an abundance of joy and lots of love to her parents, siblings and numerous families and their children. On the morning of January 7, 2021, Mathilda went to sleep in Jesus, awaiting the trumpet sound. She leaves to mourn her brothers: Wesley Isaac, Leo Isaac, and Osville Isaac, her sisters: Maura Marshall, Eldica St. Martin, and Lillis Cato and a host of family and friends too numerous to mention.
