Isabell M. Sellers

DALLASTOWN – Isabell (Mansfield) Sellers, 81, passed away Monday, November 28, 2022 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was a wonderful mother, sister, grandmother, teacher, and friend to so many. We are incredibly grateful that she shared so much of herself with others. The impact she made in this world will never be forgotten and she will be deeply missed.

Isabell was known for shedding light in others’ lives. She was compassionate, selfless, and so giving of her time and talents. She always saw the good in people, no matter the circumstances. She was a blessing to people in so many ways. She was the shoulder to lean on in time of need, a great listener, a role model, the smiling face, and comforting soul that could put anyone at ease. She always placed others before herself and truly tried to make a positive impact on everyone she met.
