This pioneering role was an apt way to finish her teaching career, as she had been a trailblazer in her first teaching job in Newport, Wales - where, in 1956, she became one of the first teachers in Britain to deliver a brand new subject for sixth formers, human biology.
After moving to Suffolk in 1965, Mrs Izzard was heavily involved in local life, especially the church.
After retiring, she became a lay reader for the three churches of Stonham Parva, Stonham Aspal and Earl Stonham.
She had also been a member of the Women’s Institute and helped with local charities.

Two new retail units are set to be built at Stonham Barns near Stowmarket, according to new plans.
Stonham Barns Ltd, which manages the shopping village in Stonham Aspal, has applied to Mid Suffolk District Council seeking permission for the extension.
A previous application to build a new retail unit at the site was given the green light last March.
However, the new plans propose dividing the new build into two units.
The planning application does not suggest which retailers could be housed in the new units, should Mid Suffolk grant the scheme permission.
