Isobel’s aunt, Abigail Maxwell, recalled her as extremely happy, curious, and adventurous, noting she lived more in two years than many do in a lifetime.

A GoFundMe page has been created to cover funeral costs and to support the family, including funds for a memorial garden and counselling.

Abigail Maxwell used the GoFundMe to pay tribute to Isobel and to help Tamara, who is pregnant with Isobel’s sibling, cope with the loss.

The family expressed heartbreak and said they intend to raise Isobel’s baby brother while keeping Isobel’s memory a guiding presence in their lives and Christmas traditions.

Tamara posted a social media tribute thanking the community for support and describing Isobel’s light and magical personality beyond the tragedy.

Family described Isobel as the happiest, most smiley, and adventurous child, a beloved member of a close-knit family.

A two-year-old girl named Isobel died after falling into a pond in a Doncaster home garden on Christmas Day, despite CPR and hospital care.

The pond had been a temporary feature in a recently renovated garden, surrounded by a fence, as the family had just moved and were updating the home.

Isobel’s mother, Tamara Wallace, publicly mourned her daughter, describing her as gifted, adventurous, and a ‘magic girl,’ and expressed a wish to remember her positively and to honor her memory for her unborn baby.

The family is renovating the house; the pond was part of the property and authorities are treating the incident as a tragic accident, with police seeking comment.

News outlets are seeking comment from police and ambulance services regarding the incident.
