It is with great sadness that the members of the Tea Area Historical Society (TAHS) inform the community of the passing of Verlyss Jacobson. Verlyss was a long-time beloved educator who was also an advocate of TAHS and Tea's rich history. Verlyss will be greatly missed, but her influence on hundreds of students and her role as a local historian will be long remembered and cherished. TAHS sends condolences to the Jacobson family.

Share Memories and Support the Family.
