Dolores Jacobson Obituary

Dolores (Dodie) Elzinga Jacobson

Loving wife, mother, grandmother and daughter, Dodie passed away laughing and giggling on December 29, 2013.

Born Nov. 01, 1931 in Lynden, Wa. to Martin & Phyllis Elzinga. Dodie grew up in Coupeville, WA where she called home as well as Edmonds, California, Shoreline and Hood Canal. Places she and Bob made wonderful memories with family & life long friends along the way. Dodie treasured her family, friends, the beach & waters of Hood Canal. Dodie enriched our lives with her constant humor and endless laughter. She touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

Dodie is survived by her husband of 60 years Bob, three children Brad (Kristi) Kim, Keith (Laurel) brother Donald Jack Elzinga, & beloved grandchildren Alyse, Aaron, Adam, Nathan, Andrew, George & Charlie.

A celebration of Dodie's life will take place at 2:00 pm Saturday January 11, 2014 at Rainier Beach Presbyterian Church. 9656 Waters Avenue South, Seattle.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
