ISABEL “IZZY” KATHLEEN SHEFFIELD (Nashville, Tennessee) is the older of two granddaughters for Grandma KATHLEEN GANDY SHEFFIELD. Kathleen was born in White Settlement, Texas, but she now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. When Izzy got her first haircut at age two, it was Grandma Sheffield who provided the lap for her to sit on. And Grandma shares that she has a video of Izzy singing “Happy birthday” to her that she will always treasure—she looks forward to playing it for Izzy when she’s old enough to get a little embarrassed. Isabel’s middle name is after her Grandma Kathleen.
