A young woman has died “unexpectedly” as people have paid tribute to the former Merseyside student. Isabella Clark was just 21-years old when she is said to have died unexpectedly, prompting dozens of tributes to be published in her memory.
Isabella is believed to have been from Southport and attended Greenbank High School before going on to study at Liverpool Theatre School and eventually Wilkes Academy in Swindon. Paying tribute to the former pupil, Greenbank said: “We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our much-loved former student, Isabella Clark.
“Isabella will be remembered at Greenbank High School for her warmth, kindness and the positive impact she had on those around her.
“Out heartfelt condolences go out to Isabella’s family and friends at this very difficult time.”
Alongside her study, Isabella worked at Victoria Leisure in Southport town centre from the age of 16. In a tribute, the centre said: “Isabella Clark was a beautiful dancer, friend, and human being. Just 21 years old, she was taken from us far too soon, and we are absolutely shocked, devastated, and heartbroken.
Our love and deepest condolences go out to Isabella’s mum, Diane, and her family and friends. We are here for you always.
“Isabella had been part of our Victoria Leisure family since the age of 16, all while pursuing her dream of becoming a professional dancer. She was the most graceful and radiant performer, with those unforgettable high kicks and effortless splits.
“All the staff at Victoria loved her dearly. She was an absolute joy to work with and brought light and laughter wherever she went.
“Beyond her incredible talent, Isabella was creative, hardworking, joyful, and kind. She taught Ballet, Yoga, Pilates, and Dance with such passion, and our members adored her classes. She had a gift for making everyone feel welcome—always taking the time to chat after each session with her friendly, easy-going nature.
“Isabella, you brought light, laughter, and beauty into our world, and your presence will be so deeply missed. RIP our beautiful, graceful dancing queen.”
Following her time at Liverpool Theatre School, Isabella travelled to Swindon to study at Wilkes Academy, who has since published a heartfelt tribute.
In the tribute, the academy said: “We are absolutely devastated to say goodbye to the beautiful Isabella, who brought light to every class, rehearsal, and corridor she walked through – always making sure to say hello to everyone with a smile and a kind word.
“She has left an enormous mark on her friends here at Wilkes, and on our entire faculty. Isabella was the most polite, gentle, and kind soul, her beaming smile will be missed so very deeply.
“Our teachers will always cherish the way she worked tirelessly, dedicating herself to doing what she loved. She was always the first to arrive, and the first to stand up to volunteer.
“Without fail, she would say ‘thank you’ at the end of every class, a small gesture that spoke volumes about her.”
A GoFundMe page has now been set up to help her family and friends to “allow the memory of Isabella to live on forever”.
Organised by Georgia Wood, it said: “Isabella was a beloved daughter and friend who touched the lives of everyone she met. She was sunshine in human form as many have said.
“Her unexpected passing has left her family and friends devastated. If you would like to contribute, all donations will allow the memory of Isabella to live on forever. Thank you for your kindness and support.”
