Our roots

The story of Jimmy and Mary

Jimmy Lee Isbell was born October 9, 1925, in Haskell, Texas, and was raised in Boonesville. He worked as a crane operator and loved farming and ranching.

Mary Elizabeth Ann Isbell was born May 5, 1925, in Fort Worth, Texas. She was a beautician and salon owner before Jimmy and Mary moved from the city to their farm in Newark, Texas.

Faith stood at the center of their marriage and family life. They were hardworking, disciplined, generous to those in need, and a joy to be around. Their example continues through their children, grandchildren, and future generations.
