Isobel Treherne died at home on 30 June, aged 93, missed by her 11 children and 20 grandchildren, and all who have known her. The Requiem Mass will be held at 12 noon on 19 July 2024 at St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Mayfield, East Sussex.

She was likely Nina Isobel Haig-Thomas, born 1930, wife of Robert Philip Dalrymple Treherne, though I had seen names of only ten children. Her maternal grandparents were Sidney James Agar, 4th Earl of Normanton, and his wife, Lady Amy Byng.

Yes, this seems to be the correct identification, as there is reference in a parish newsletter in Sussex to "Isobel Treherne, Fr Tom's Mum who died on Sunday" [30 June], and it would appear that late Mrs Treherne's eldest son is a Catholic priest, Canon Thomas ("Tom") Treherne.

The peerage.com website gives the names of ten children of Mrs Treherne, viz:

Mary Treherne b.1952

Thomas Treherne b.1953

Patrick Treherne b.1955

Henry Treherne b.1956

Stephen Treherne b.1958

Catherine Treherne b.1960

Jerome Treherne b.1962

Margaret Treherne b.1962

Frederick Treherne b.1967

Robert Treherne b.1972

Margaret was born in 1967, not 1962 as shown on the peerage.com, and it seems that she was a triplet with Frederick, who appears in the above list, and William, who does not.
