Born and raised in Mansfield, Louisiana, Isabelle, or Izzy, has lived her life largely abiding by the traditions & beliefs of the rural South. A “good girl” who followed all the rules in her youth, IZZY has grown into a good-natured, funny and tenacious woman who nevertheless still tries not to make waves, especially with the husband with whom she lives in a trailer park.
