The Jacksonville Area Museum was saddened to hear of the passing of emeritus museum board member Patsy Erickson.
Patsy served for many decades on the museum board, bringing her love of history to our community. Her particular interest was phone and communication equipment, which was assembled from her 40+ year career at GTE in Jacksonville. The equipment has been on display at all museum locations since her donation, with a recently restored switchboard made available for children to experience phone operations.
Her support of the museum will be greatly missed. Our condolences to her family and friends.
