Doris Marie Jacobson

Jacobson, Doris M. 84, Eden Prairie, MN passed away on Tuesday, November 22, 2016. Doris was born December 13, 1931 at home in Blaisdell, ND, the first child of Harley and Gertrude (nee Ohnsager) Hutchins. She grew up in Blaisdell, Palermo, and Springbrook, ND, with her brother Allan, and graduated from Epping High School in 1950. Doris married her childhood sweetheart, Gene Jacobson, on July3, 1952 in Williston, ND. They lived in Grand Forks, ND for two years before moving to South Milwaukee, WI. Together they raised their three children. In 1961 they moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where they lived for four years before moving to Eden Prairie, MN. Doris had a knack for gardening and sewing for their children and grandchildren. After the children were older, Doris went to work at Stewart Sandwich Co in Eden Prairie, and then at Powers/Donaldson’s/Carson Pirie Scott, a job that she thoroughly enjoyed. In 1992 they took advantage of early retirement and built and moved to a lake home on Kimble Lake in Pequot Lakes, MN. They wintered in Split Rail Park in Mission, TX. Whether heading for the Mexico border for a fresh bolillo and coffee, shopping, going to flea markets, or working on the Park floats for Fiesta Days, every day was lived to the fullest. Time spent with her family and friends was cherished deeply. The memorial service for Doris will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie, with Pastor Roger Schindel officiating. Friends and family may gather one hour prior to the service. She will be inurned at the St. Andrew Lutheran Church Memorial Prayer Garden.
