Beth Jacobson, of Plattsmouth,  formerly of Murray, passed away Sunday, November 10, 2024.  Born on Sunday, September 20, 1925, in Nodaway, Iowa, to Raymond and Bess (Norcutt) McCoy, Beth lived a long and fulfilling life, touching the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Beth graduated from Villisca High School in 1943 and shortly thereafter made her mark as a "Rosie the Riveter" at the Martin Bomber Plant during World War II.  It was during her time at the Martin Bomber Plant that she met Clarence Jacobson.  The two were united in marriage on December 30, 1944 in Villisca, Iowa.  They eventually made their home on a farm West of Murray, Nebraska, where they raised their children.  Her career later included ventures in Avon sales and work at a meat locker in Murray.

She was a member of the Lions Club, the Eagles Club, and the Murray Christian Church, where her spirit of service was warmly appreciated. Beth had a passion for bowling, playing Pinochle, and walking five miles a day.   In recent years, she made her home at Bailey Pointe in Plattsmouth where she enjoyed visiting with friends and taking part in the various activities that were offered.
