August 9, 1933 - September 10, 2021

Isobel Brookover Knicely, 88, departed this life on Friday, Sept. 10, 2021, at her home in Clarksburg. Isobel was born in Wetzel County on Aug. 9, 1933, the daughter of Ross and Josephine (Rush) Brookover. In addition to her husband of 70 years, Neil Knicely, Isobel is survived by two children, daughter Diane Logue and husband, James of Clarksburg and son Jeff Knicely and wife, Barb of Bridgeport.

In addition to her parents, Isobel was preceded in death by her brother Theodore Brookover and wife, Roberta. Isobel was a histotechnologist, working at the Louis A. Johnson Veterans Administration Medical Center for 20 years. She was a deeply private person who cared for and loved her family dearly. She especially experienced joy in the accomplishments of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren Second only to her love of family, Isobel was an avid, lifelong reader. She enjoyed nothing more than sitting down in her easy chair with a good book. She passed along her love of reading to many generations in her family. As per her wishes, there will be no funeral service and she will be cremated. There will be a private family memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers, friends and family are invited to make donations in Isobel’s memory to their local library, or to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, at www.jdrf.org. Harbert Funeral home, Salem, is honored to serve the Knicely family.
