STOW - Isa M. Freebourn passed into the arms of Jesus on January 2, 2021 at Heritage of Hudson. Born in Northfield, Ohio, she was a resident of Stow since 1998. She previously lived in Erie, PA, Franklin, PA, Medina, OH, Vermilion, OH, and Seminole, FL. Isa was a member of the First Christian Church of Stow. She earned her pilot’s license in 1962 and flew private airplanes for many years. She also enjoyed skiing, ceramics, and a pick-up game of basketball, well into her 80s. Preceded in death by her husband of fifty-three years, John Freebourn, Jr.; stepson, John Freebourn, III; brothers, Dale and Ervin Lance; and sister, Beth Lance, she is survived by her daughter, Jenifer (Barry) Confer; daughter-in-law, Phyllis Freebourn; grandchildren, John IV, Zach, and Travis Freebourn, Maria (Ryne) Siesky, Wm. Joel, Johanna, Jeffrey, and Rob Confer. The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage of Hudson for their kindness and love in caring for Isa.

Interment will be at Silver Springs Cemetery.
