Milo was born on August 24, 1924, to Gotfred and Kirstine "Daisy" Jacobsen. He lived all of his 90 years on the same property his fa- ther purchased back in the early 1900's. In addition to farming in the greater Easton area, Milo also farmed at times near Raisin City, CA, and Winnemucca, NV. Throughout the years, he grew a variety of crops, in- cluding grapes, prunes, sweet corn, pumpkins, peanuts, alfalfa, garlic, on- ions, soybeans, artichokes, sugar beets, black eyed peas, sunflowers, vegetable seed, bok choy, carrots, tomatoes, and much more. Always one to have a shovel in his hand, there wasn't much he couldn't grow, and through the years many sought out his farming wisdom.

Beyond the farm, Milo truly valued the time he spent with family and friends, lending a helping hand to anyone who needed one. Add- itionally, Milo learned to fly and enjoyed numerous trips over the years with family and friends, includ- ing destinations all over the western United States and Mexico. He had the opportunity to travel to several places, including memorable visits to Australia and New Zealand. He enjoyed tending and building up his yard, which, among many accom- plishments, included raising hun- dreds of sago palms that he took great pride in. The Jacobsen family thanks those at Community Regional Medical Center; and Horizon Health Sub- acute Center, who took such won- derful care of Milo during his brief ill- ness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gotfred and Daisy; brother, Gotfred, and sister, Meta Stan- sell. Milo is survived by Janice, his wife of 64 years; two sons, Ray and his wife Debbie, and Randy and his wife Liz; and daughter, Carol Brown and her husband Michael. He also leaves behind 10 grandchildren; six great- grandchildren; and numerous friends. An open house will be held to cele- brate Milo's life on Sunday, August 30, 2015, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

As a single mother, June's mother set an example of persever- ance, tenacity, and strength for her daughter, all of which were evident throughout June's life.

After training, she moved to the Madera, CA area where she worked in area hospitals until becoming a nursing instructor at Fresno City College from 1952 to 1984. She taught many Licensed Vocational Nurses to perform their jobs at the highest level of compe- tency and care for patients. In a tri- bute to June, her students wrote and presented her an illustrated poem, an excerpt which follows: see what a wonderful teach- er.

You'd look far to find one to match her. Her experience she shared without reservation. To aro- use a greater stimulation of brains and knowledge. We now have great courage to go out and become great nurses. Thanks to you, Mrs.

Pool. S. Alden, D. Brown June taught her students to achieve the highest level of care in nursing all while managing a household of four children. While working and caring for her children, she completed a Masters Degree.

She learned les- sons well from her own mother, man- aging life events with fortitude, cour- age, and grace never surrendering to hardships. In her last days, the peo- ple caring for her noted her intense strength, will, and intelligence. June is survived by her children, Valerie Gunner and her husband Kevin, Susan Hansen and her hus- band Doug, Debra Hansen and her husband Rob, and Steven Pool. She is also survived by eight grandchil- dren, Nathaniel Hansen, Wyeth Hansen, Erica McCormack, Natalie Hansen, Hillery Gunner, Angela Gunner, Kirsten Pool and Thomas Pool; and by her great-granddau- ghter, Imogen McCormack.
