NORWAY — Isadore G. Edwards VonKahle, 92, of South Paris, died Saturday evening at Norway Rehabilitation and Living Center.

She was born in Poland, May 20, 1920, the daughter of Channing E. and Helen M. Kimball Edwards.

She grew up in Poland and attended Poland schools. She married Harry L. Whittum and with him had a family of eight children in Otisfield. In July 1968, she married Kermit (Leon) VonKahle.

During her adult life, she had been employed at the Royal River Packing Co. and the Burnham and Morrill Corn Shop. She also worked at some of the area campgrounds, preparing them to open up for the summer.

She immensely enjoyed gardening and had this marvelous green thumb that revived many plants. She favored dancing and fishing, as well as many long drives through the White Mountains of New Hampshire with her daughters.

Survivors include her husband of South Paris; her daughters, Helen and husband, Frank McCowen, of South Paris, Valma and husband, Errol (Hank) Walker, of South Paris, Ruth and husband, Ronald Paine, of Oxford, Patsy and husband, Joseph Ryan, of Lewiston, and Nancy and husband, Robert Snape, of Lisbon Falls; 14 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by a daughter, Sharon E. Whittum; two sons, Robert M. and Harry L. Whittum Jr.; and a stepbrother, Ed Mann.

Isadore had resided with and received wonderful care from her daughter, Valma and husband, Hank Walker, for a year. Upon a worsening health condition, she became a resident of the Norway Rehabilitation and Living Center for the past two years. The family would like to express their deep gratitude to all the staff at the Living Center for their wonderful and compassionate care our mother received during her stay there.
