SAYING GOODBYE
M. Isobel Green, RN, CNS,
CNC, CVN past SVN Treasurer
and longtime member
recently passed away.
Green worked tirelessly to
promote vascular nursing and
is described consistently as the
kindest person who was a pure
joy to work with and a tireless
promote of SVN.
Her SVN colleagues have these
memories to share:
“When I first came onto the
board, Isobel was the treasurer,
and I had the honor of sharing
a room with her on occasion. She
is from England and would travel
with one small carry-on for the
whole week. She taught me to
pack by rolling my clothes. I still
tell that story. “
- Phyllis Gordon
“Isobel was a wonderful kind
and compassionate person who
worked very hard in promoting
SVN and vascular nursing
internationally. A big loss to
the vascular nursing world!”
- Marge Lovell
“Isobel was very passionate
about vascular nursing and
such a wonderful mentor. She
will be so missed.”
- Debra Kohlman-Trigoboff
“She was truly a great person.
Isobel served as treasurer when
I was president and was a pure
joy to work with and get to know
as a friend. She was a tireless
promoter of SVN. We will all
miss her.”
- Jane Frasca
“So saddened to hear of
Isobel’s passing. She was one
of the kindest people I had the
pleasure of knowing.”
- Karen Fitzgerald
