Emmy Lou Jacobson Obituary (1927 - 2021)

Emmy Lou Jacobson Loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, teacher, neighbor, and good friend, Emmy Lou Jacobson, passed away peacefully at 93 on March 6, 2021. Born in St. Paul, MN, Emmy was the youngest of three siblings. She had a wonderful childhood building lifelong relationships at Summit School (St. Paul Academy) and Mills College. Emmy later went back to school at Macalester College for her teaching degree and the University of MN for her master's degree in special education. Her education and love for teaching led to her career as a teacher. As a single mother, Emmy raised her two daughters near her brother and sister-in-law and their sons, creating even stronger family bonds. Her youthfulness was everywhere, from her love of travel - Africa, Europe, and especially the North Shore - to her calendar, which was always full of visiting new restaurants, attending upcoming events, or just getting together with a friend. Emmy even tried to keep up with the latest trends and technology, most of the time amusing her family and friends. She always had a book to read, always called on your birthday, and stayed in close contact with everyone she loved. She is preceded in death by her parents, Abraham and Hazel Levy, brothers; Victor (Alice) and Russell Levy; and nephew John Levy. She is survived by her two daughters Avreayl (Linda Trahan) Jacobson and Patty (Randy) Tucker; her nephews Victor (Sue) and William Levy; her granddaughter Kate (Greg) Sicher; her beloved great-grandchildren Emmie and Lewis Sicher; and numerous cousins and friends. Funeral services will be held via Zoom on Thursday, March 11 at 12 pm CST, with a shiva at 7 pm. Email zoom6@hodroffepstein.com for the link. Memorials can be sent to the Mt. Zion Mitzvah Food Shelf.
