D/o Paul Kegresse & Ethel Tisdale.
At the 1940 census, Isabella, 22, was living in Maynard Town, Middlesex County, Mass. with a great aunt, Mary/Minnie Josephine Wright Champagne, 83, b. 1857? in Conn., and Minnie’s son Arthur R. Champagne, 55 and single. On June 6, 1958, she graduated with honors from the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance, Waltham, Massachusetts. She died at 85y 1d, and from her tombstone, we can presume that she liked dogs, hummingbirds, deer and woodlands. (We wish we knew more.)
According to family members, she was badly abused by her father. She never married but had one son, Bruce Edward Kegresse, who she gave up for adoption at birth because she feared he would become victim to the same fate as she had.
(Her son grew up to be a college administrator named David Kiley who later searched to find her. She had already died, but Jean Strauss created a documentary entitled "For the Life of Me" which tells the story of his search.)
