Mrs.
Jacobson learned about the Woman's Missionary Society, first when they
presented their daughter, Janice Sue, with a baby membership, the Society's
youngest "member". In 1941, moving to Little Rock. Ark., they joined the
Pulaski Heights Methodist Church. Here she joined the W.S.C.S. and supported
their activities. When Jake changed his work to the American Dairy Association,
the Jacobsons moved to Midwest City and became affiliated with Wickline
Methodist Church, a town only four years old, and Wickline barely three
years old.
Immediately Lois Jacobson became a member of the WSCS. She fell heir to
the office of publicity chairman, with one of her duties being to prepare
a column for the weekly newspaper. She typed and published their yearbooks
each year. She served as secretary of the executive committee, and secretary
several terms of her circle. She served on the "ways and means" committee
helping with the money making projects. Working with the membership committee
she encouraged many women of the church to participate in the Society.
She prepared and presented many devotionals. Interested in the spiritual
life area of the work she organized prayer chains, which have continued
through the years.
In the church she began working as the church secretary and being the recording
secretary of the official board. She served many years as Superintendent
of the Kindergarten Department. She became an accredited lab teacher for
the Methodist Church, teaching in various churches in Oklahoma in this
area.
She kept in touch with the Boy Scouts and
the FHA. Duties as a homeroom mother were mostly carried out because her
son had "Volunteered his Mother."
Lois Jacobson was a true friend, a dedicated Christian, a joy to know.
The spirit of love shone through her eyes.
