Concha Edith Isham

Concha Isham, beloved mother, grandmother, sibling, aunt, cousin and friend passed away on October 21, 2025, at the age of 54. Though our hearts are heavy, we celebrate a life so beautifully lived and a soul so deeply loved.

Born on January 3rd, 1971, in Minneapolis MN and moved to Red Lake MN when she was 7 years old. Concha was the cherished child of Irma Beaulieu (Neadeau). From an early age, she radiated warmth, curiosity, and compassion qualities that only grew stronger with time.

Conchas’ journey took her through many chapters of life. Those who knew her will forever remember her smile/laughter/spirit. Whether it was spending time with her children and grandchildren, her beloved dog Keno and her beloved cat Tiger Woods, she enjoyed playing BINGO and gambling, she loved to shop, one thing about her is she was very PICKY when it came to the socks and shoes she wore. She loved to clean; her home was always spotless and decorated. She loved to collect unicorns and dolphins. Concha was a very open and blunt person, if you didn’t know you would find out quickly.
