Tourdot, Kristine "Kris" (nee Isaacs) age 63, of Maple Grove passed away after a long, brave fight December 11, 2014. She was born in Stanley, Wisconsin to A. Virgil and Frances Isaacs, who preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death was her beloved dog, Abby. She is survived by her daughter Allison (Jon Despotes); siblings Ward (Toni) Isaacs, Lorene Isaacs, Keith (Mary) Isaacs, and Dale (Sandi) Isaacs; nephews and nieces Ryan (Jenna) Huls, Dave (Amanda) Isaacs, DeAnn Isaacs, Patrick (Tressa) Isaacs, and Cassie Isaacs. Kris was a single mother who showed her daughter by example what it means to be a strong, independent woman. She was also a talented musician who performed with various musical ensembles. Kris was never one to pass up a good bargain or the opportunity to make others laugh. She will be remembered for her strong faith, her silly songs, her goofy faces, her mischievous grin, and her warm hugs. Memorial service at MAPLE GROVE EVANGELICAL FREE CHURCH (8585 Rice Lake Rd.)
