in 1962 to become a full-time mother and homemaker. In the late 1970’s
she returned to teaching as a substitute in the Fullerton and Anaheim
Unified School Districts.

California. She moved to Southern Oregon in 1998.

Mrs. Jurgens is survived by her two daughters, Jill Cavanagh and Dawn
Sommer; son-in-law, Paul Cavanagh; sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn and
