LuErna Mae Jacobson Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 11, 2015 @ 2:00 am Posted Jan. 11, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News LuErna Mae Jacobson was called home by the Lord on January 5, 2015 after a long battle with Alzheimer's. She was 87 years old. LuErna was born on August 26, 1927 in Mapleton, Minn. to Christian & Eva (Ratcliff) Jacobson. She was the third of four daughters, all of whom preceded her in death; Dolores Florian (2012), RobAnnetta Bergerson (1982) and LeNora Jacobson (2007). LuErna moved with her family to Hill City, S.D. in 1940 and graduated from Hill City High School in 1945. She was instrumental in creating their school newspaper and graduated as class Valedictorian. Following high school she attend Business College and worked as an office manager for a dermatologist. In 1959, she and her sister, LeNora, moved to Ventura, Calif. where she worked as a secretary for a bank president and then for a land developer as his personal secretary. She retired in 1996. Both sisters moved to southern Oregon in 1999 to be closer to family. LuErna never married but instead devoted her life to the Lord and her church. She played the organ and the piano, traveled extensively with church groups and enjoyed taking cruises with her sisters. She is survived by 15 nieces and nephews (two nephews preceded her in death). The family would like to extend a very special thank you for the loving care provided to LuErna by Steve and Lillian Shepphard in their home care facility. Services will be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Medford. www.Hillcrestmortuary.com.
