Isabel Campbell; Retired Wedding Consultant

Isabel Campbell, who ran Weddings by Isabel until she was 92, has died at an Encino hospital. She was 96.

A resident of Granada Hills, Mrs. Campbell died March 3 of complications of old age, said her daughter, Cai Taggart.

Born Isabel Northern Martin in Brocton, N.Y., she came to Los Angeles in 1910 and graduated from Manual Arts High School. She sang and danced professionally and later became the booking agent for her husband, Douglas Colin Campbell, a concert pianist. They divorced in 1939.

She started her wedding consulting business when she was 76. She made the arrangements--including photographers, caterers and bands--for hundreds of weddings throughout Southern California. At 90, she appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” to discuss her trade.

Mrs. Campbell, a member of Altrusa International, helped organize many clubs for the group. She also belonged to the San Fernando Valley chapter of Neighbors of Woodcraft.

She is survived by her son, Tom Campbell of Strathmore, Calif.; three daughters, Cai Taggart of Sherman Oaks, Catherine Starr of Lake Elsinore, Calif., and Julie Pascoe of Moorpark; and nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

At her request, no services were held. Bastian & Perrott Mortuary in Northridge handled the arrangements. Donations can be made in Mrs. Campbell’s name to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, 520 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Suite 208, Los Angeles 90049.
