Isabel Paine Niles

Isabel Paine Niles, 90, widow of the Rev. Albert C. Niles, died November 9, 2010. She attended St. Lawrence University for two years. After her marriage, she coordinated and taught in the Sunday schools at the Universalist churches in South Weymouth, MA, Auburn and Bangor, ME, and Brockton, MA, where her husband served as minister. With their five children in school, she resumed her education at SLU when the family moved to Canton, NY. She taught high school English in Russell and Dolgeville, NY, Bridgewater, MA, and Auburn, ME. Isabel was a voracious reader with a passion for genealogy. She amazed her then 92-year old father by finding out information about his father. She was a faithful letter writer who kept up a “round robin” correspondence with friends for more than 60 years. She is survived by her children Ann, David, Jonathan, Martha, and Walter; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
