Isabelle was born on May 17, 1923 in Wood Lake, NE to Joseph and Lillian Bunn. She was one of twin
daughters, first born in a family of eight children. Their father worked most of his life on the railroad so

moved frequently during the marriage finally settling in Chadron, NE in 1951. The marriage dissolved in
1965, but she remained and worked in Chadron until 1972 when she married Lloyd Lockman of rural
Alliance, NE. She worked with him on his ranch for 38 years. She was a very hard worker with an old-
fashioned work ethic and Yankee ingenuity.
She was very active in Does in Alliance for a number of years. She loved to crochet and do all sorts of
fancy work which she would give to family and friends. She donated her work to local organizations as
prizes for benefits or fundraisers. When she was young she played guitar and love to read. Enjoyed her
houseplants, drawing, dancing and cooking. Later years found her in the yard or, any place she could
reach, with a lawn mower.
