Joan Marie Jacobsen, the daughter of Carl and Cecile B. (Potvin) Johnson, was born in Escananba, Michigan. She was reared and educated in Escanaba, Michigan, and graduated from high school there.

They moved to Humboldt, Iowa in 1966, and their youngest son, Matt, was born there. Joan attended Iowa Central Community College to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Donald J. Jacobsen passed away in 1991, and Joan continued to live in Humboldt until her retirement in 2001 when she moved to live on Green Lake in Spicer, Minnesota. She was employed as a Licensed Practical Nurse at Humboldt County Memorial Hospital for 25 years and was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Humboldt, Iowa and Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church in Spicer, Minnesota. Joan was a caring mother. She was the glue that provided a cohesive structure for her family, and worked tirelessly to raise her five sons. A loving and grateful family will dearly miss her.
