Isabella Gilmore was an English deaconess and nurse born in London in 1842. The sister of the artist William Morris, she dedicated much of her life to serving impoverished communities in South London. After being widowed in 1882, she trained at Guy's Hospital and eventually helped reestablish the female diaconate within the Anglican Communion. Her leadership and training of other women played a central role in reviving this religious order, leaving a lasting impact on the church's social and pastoral work.
