All of us at the the Canadian Landmine Foundation joins with people across Canada and around the world in mourning the passing of Carol Isfeld, M.S.M (civil division).
The story of Carol creating the "Izzy Doll" for her son Master Corporal Mark Isfeld to hand out to children in areas where he was serving as a peacekeeper, is legendary. Following Mark's death, while removing landmines in June 1994, Carol continued to knit Izzy Dolls and Canadian peacekeepers continued to hand them out where they were serving. The story of Mark Isfeld can be seen at http://www.isfeldbc.com/.
Carol Margaret Isfeld was born June 02 1939 and passed away on the 15th of August 2007 at approx 2100 hours in St Josephs Hospital Comox British Columbia. Carol, together with her husband Brian, was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, on Friday, April 28, 2006.
Our deep condolences go out to Brian, their children and family on the loss of this inspirational person.
