Isabelle Hershkowitz Deck

Belle Hershkowitz Deck went to be with our Heavenly Father on June 18, 2005. She was 94.

Belle was born October 25, 1909 in Congress, Ariz. Bell was the tenth child born to Harry and Susie Hershkowitz. She lived her entire life in Congress, except for a few years after her marriage when they lived in Octave. She returned to Congress to spend the rest of her years serving the community there.

Belle at one time owned several businesses in the Congress area - the Texaco Station, the Sierra Vista Motel, and the old Post Office, which she leased to the U.S. Postal Service. She ran a boarding house from the Old Hotel on Highway 89. Belle drilled the first water wells in the area and started the water company, which is today the Congress Domestic Water Company.

Thanks to the generosity of Belle and her husband Oscar, the Good Shepherd of the Desert has a home on the property that they donated for the construction of the church. Belle was a faithful parishioner all of her life.

Survivors include her daughter-in-law Bernece, her two grandsons Kenneth Mitchell Deck and his wife Debbie, and Todd Deck. She had one great-grandson and one great-granddaughter. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews of the Wickenburg area.

Visitation will be held at Frey-Wickenburg Funeral Home, 187 N. Adams Street, Wickenburg from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, June 27. Rosary will be there at 7 p.m., Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 28 at Good Shepherd of the Desert Catholic Church in Congress. Burial will follow in the Congress Cemetery.
