The Lord called her home on March 27, 2026, at the age of 98.
Born on November 15, 1927, in Adams, North Dakota, to Oscar and Mabel (Nee Johnson) Roterud. Loving wife of the late Clifford W. Jorgenson for 66 years.
Devoted and caring mother of Linda (Andy Michels) and the late Thomas Jorgenson. Proud and doting grandmother of David Michels (Genevieve), Todd Michels, the late Erik Jorgenson, and Jamie Jorgenson (Cory Fuller). Adoring great-grandmother of Teagan, Theodore, and Calvin Michels, and was looking forward to meeting Baby (on the way) Fuller. Many cherished nieces, nephews, other relatives, and wonderful, longtime good friends and neighbors survive her. She was preceded in death by her parents, all of her brothers and sisters, and their spouses, Clarence, Leslie, Vernon (Betty), Evelyn (Buck Erovick), Ellamay (Mel Bajanen), and Evangeline (Bob Laste).
She felt the absence after the passing of her husband Cliff, and then was devastated by the loss of her treasured son Tom, and again after the loss of her beloved grandson Erik.
She was born and grew up on the family farm, and she and her siblings attended a one-room schoolhouse in North Dakota. She always loved to reminisce about her childhood and liked to tell the grandchildren and great-grandchildren how different their lives are compared to when she was their age.
She and Cliff were both god-fearing, warm, and compassionate parents and grandparents who were loved and will be missed, but are now together again. They always said that the longer you live, the more funerals you attend, and the fewer people are left to attend yours. Many open arms were waiting for her, and she is now at peace.
No visitation and a private family service and burial will honor her wishes.
A special, sincere thank-you to the entire staff of Harbour House @ Harbour Village in Greendale, WI. They all went above and beyond in their loving care of Mom.
Preceptor Hospice was greatly appreciated for their compassionate team of caregivers.
Donations to Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, WI, or to the WI Alzheimer’s Association are suggestions, if you so wish.
