Beloved wife and mother, Mildred May Munsinger Jacobson, passed away July 5, 2010, in Yuma, Ariz., at age 74.

She was born Dec. 23, 1935, near Glenrock. She grew up in the Glenrock area and graduated from Glenrock High School.

She moved with her family to Malta, Mont. There she met William Jacobson and they were married on June 1, 1954, in Malta. The couple lived in Malta until 1965 when they moved to Casper.

In Casper, she helped raise their family of seven children. The family enjoyed many activities together, especially camping at Alcova Lake. Upon retirement, the couple moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, where they lived until 2005 when they moved to Yuma.

Her occupations included homemaker, bookkeeper and store assistant. She was a voracious reader and had an inquisitive mind. She enjoyed swimming and waterskiing with family and friends at Alcova Lake. She was very active in her square dance club in Casper. She loved to play games and she was a fierce card player. Working in her yard and telling jokes were two more of her favorite things.

She will be greatly missed and remembered as a wonderful wife, mother, sister and friend.
