Yseult was an excellent cook and she enjoyed sharing her specialties with others, including her wonderful French Potato Salad, flan and tarts. She had a great love for animals, evidenced by the adoption of many cats into her home over the years. One of her favorite hobbies was English Style horse-back riding. She also loved the arts and ballet and to travel to new places.
Yseult made an indelible mark on the lives of everyone who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to ASPCA as Yseult was an avid animal lover.
