<<< Return to Memory Wall

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).

To The Jacobson Family,

My heart breaks for you all. What a wonderful woman your wife/Mom was. As soon as I heard of her passing, right away I thought of her smile. She always lit up your house when I was there in the good ole Nanuet days. That picture above truly captured her and was exactly the smile I first thought of. I know your pain as I lost my Mom to this horrible disease, but the memories you will never forget and will help you through. God Bless you all.

Dear Mr. Jacobson & Family,

I worked with Pam from 2010 until last year, and had the pleasure of meeting you and Mrs. Jacobson a few times over the years.

When Pam sent me her Mom’s obituary, It became instantly obvious that she led a wonderfully rich life, centered around her beautiful family.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved wife. May her memory always be a blessing.

Fondly,
Robbin Danzig
