Sherry (Kershnar) Jacobson, born February 12, 1941, passed away May 6, 2020 after a long illness. Born in Brooklyn, NY, and having resided in Livingston, NJ and Nanuet, NY, she retired and lived the past 21 years in the Saddlebrooke Community in Tucson, AZ. She was graduated from the Baruch School of City College and then worked as an accountant at Apfel & Englander. After her kids were in school, she managed the U.S. office of Fildan Accessories, while also working summers at Camps Wahconah-Potomac and Pontiac. Throughout her life, she enjoyed eating chocolate, baking, crocheting, rooting for the NY Rangers and NY Mets, seeing Broadway shows, as well as attending Harry Belafonte and Johnny Mathis concerts. In her retirement, she spent time walking with friends, playing tennis, square dancing, playing bridge and attending hors d’oeuvres parties. But most of all she adored spending time with her family and friends. She was a loving wife to her husband Jake, a wonderful mom to her children (Alyse, Pam, Steven, Lara, and Mark) as well as a doting MeMa to her grandsons (Max and Ben). She was predeceased by her parents Morton and Sally Kershnar and her sister-in-law Sue Kershnar. She is survived by her husband Louis Martin aka Jake Jacobson; her children Alyse (Mark), Pam, Steven (Lara); her grandsons Max and Ben; as well as her siblings Mel, Rivka, Harris (Tessa).

Dear Pam and family, it's so evident what a life force Sherry Jacobson was. From the way you spoke about her to what others have written about her, it's no wonder she was pure love. Life is such a mystery and seldom do we have the real answer we need as to why things happen the way they do. We wish you during this time, love, peace and closure, knowing that Sherry is free to laugh and free to love you all from where she is now.
With love,
Claire O'Sullivan and Family.

I have had the pleasure of knowing the Jacobson’s since 1975. I remember the first time Sherry baked a cake for me - OMG!! When Sherry called Jake at work I would get a chance to speak with her. She was always very caring about what was going on in my life and both she and Jake raised their kids to be as considerate as their parents. I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling right now, but you guys have many good memories and I hope they can put a smile on your face.

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to Sherry for many years due to my relationship with Jake. She was always inquisitive about how I was doing and how my kids were and she always gave Jake my messages!!! I know she was a fabulous wife and loving mother/grandmother. May she rest in peace. My deepest condolences!

Dear Momma:

Words cannot express how much you will be missed. You were an amazing mom and an incredible woman. I will do my best to emulate you in all the good ways, particularly eating much chocolate in your memory.

Love,
Your Pussycat

I remember Sherry fondly as a doting wife and mother. Her love for, and her commitment to, her family was obvious to all who knew her. While she is no longer with us, her strong, kind and capable essence lives on in her children.

Our condolences to the entire Jacobson family. Pam’s kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and compassion that make her an amazing friend no doubt comes from the wonderful parents who raised her. You are all in our hearts and thoughts.
Adam Bollinger
The matriarch of the Jacobson family has left behind a legacy in the form of a family bound by love, and a family unit that will continue to make the world a better place in her absence. Sherry, thank you for blessing the rest of us with the gift of your family, and for that we will all be eternally grateful.
