Jacobson, Rosemary Rosemary of Milwaukee, died after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer on April 5, 2010. Rosemary was born in Chicago on 2-4-1941, the only child of Ben and Rose Van Caro. She grew up in Chicago and attended Mundelein College before leaving to start a family. She later returned to earn her degree from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, MN. She went on to earn a Masters from University of Minnesota. Rosemary had a successful career in substance abuse counseling and went on to be Program Director of a pain management clinic in Minneapolis for 12 years. After marrying her second husband, M.E. “Jake” Jacobson, she became an outplacement consultant, assisting employees in their transition to new careers, and later went on to start her own consulting company. Rosemary’s many professional accomplishments were matched by her numerous civic, charitable and volunteer activities. Rosemary was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many and her kindness, compassion, and joie de vivre will be sadly missed.
