Jaci Gordon, 58, passed away on June 21, 2012, at the Kavanagh House. A celebration of life service will be held at Lutheran Church of Hope, 925 Jordan Creek Parkway in West Des Moines, on Monday, June 25, 2012, at 10:30 a.m. Visitation will be held the night before from 6 to 8 p.m., at Hope’s Chapel.

Jaci was born to John and Marcella Yochum of Newton, Iowa. After graduating from high school, she earned a B.S. and two master’s degrees from Drake University, and a doctorate from Walden University. Jaci worked as a medical technologist at several hospitals and clinics, including the Des Moines Veterans Administration Hospital, and as a mental health counselor in private practice. She most recently worked as the women’s ministry coordinator at Lutheran Church of Hope.

What Jaci loved to do most was to read (most anything), learn, write, and teach about her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Please be in prayer for Jaci’s surviving family and friends, her husband, Sid; her mother, Marcella; sister, Jo (Harold Davis) Yochum; brother, Scott (Debbie) Yochum; nephews, Brad and Trevor Yochum; and many close supporting family members and friends. Jaci was preceded in death by her father, John Yochum.

Memorial contributions can be made to The University of Iowa Transplant Clinic, Spurgeon Manor in Dallas Center or to Lutheran Church of Hope - Women’s Ministry.
