Former Embarrass resident, Lili Maria Isaacson, 96, of Aurora, dies



Lili Maria Isaacson, 96, of Aurora, died Thursday, Sept. 23, 2004, at 

White Community Nursing Home in Aurora. 



She was born Nov. 2, 1907, in Biwabik, to Erick and Lizzie Maki. She grew 

up and attended the Biwabik Schools. On Dec. 25, 1925, she married 

Theodore Isaacson of Embarrass. She assisted the St. Louis County nurse on 

her rounds in the community and later acted as a midwife. She was a member 

of the Northwoods Senior Citizen's Club, serving in several offices of 

that group. 



In 1950, they moved to Virginia, where she worked at the former Sapera's 

Style Shop for eight years. She was a member of the Virginia Senior 

Citizen's and an original member of the Little Gallery Art League. In 1958 

they returned to Embarrass, where she became the secretary at School 70 

and worked there for twelve years, retiring in 1970 when the school was 

consolidated with Babbitt. The next eight winters were spent in Arizona. 

While there, she became involved in china painting, which was her latest 

hobby. In 1982, they decided to move back to Virginia. She was a longtime 

member of the Ladies of Kaleva, Iron Train Writers, St. Louis County 

School Retirees, and belonged to the Mary Circle of Gethsemane Evangelical 

Lutheran Church. 



Lili is survived by her sisters, Helen Milos of Biwabik, Elizabeth (Jack) 

Klobuchar of Virginia, and Gladyce M. Lampe of Bass Lake; two daughters-

in-law; seven grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-

grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-

nephews. 



She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Theodore, in 1989; 

sons, T. Eugene Isaacson in 1973 and Ronald E. Issacson in 1992; three 

great-grandsons; sister, Sylvia Peterson; and brother, Emil Maki.
