On Thursday night, January 28, 2021, Junior “Ed” Isaacson, loving husband to Mary Elaine Isaacson, father of Kim Renee Osborne, and grandfather of Angela Marie Osbourne, passed away at the age of 87, in Barron.

He was born on September 20, 1933, in Maple Grove Township, Wisconsin, and was one of 18 children. He was a gentle, kind, and generous man, who served in the army as a “standard bearer” of the flag during the Korean War. He was stationed in Germany.

Ed was known for writing poems, having a good sense of humor, laughing a lot and being very crafty, he could fix or invent something that would work for whatever it was that you needed. With a large heart, he would help you in any way that he could.

Surviving are his daughter, Kim Osborne of Lehigh Acres, FL and a granddaughter, Angela Osbourne of Maple Valley, WA; brothers, LeRoy Isaacson and Robert (Carol) Isaacson; sister, Shirley (David) Mork; sister-in-law, Jean Isaacson.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Marjie; wife, Mary Elaine – short of 1 ½ months of 50 years; brothers, Earl, Lloyd, Chester, Walter, Herman, Lewis and Frank; sisters, Lenore, Doris, Vada, Elaine, Betty, Mildred and Lorretta.

A funeral service for Junior Isaacson will be held at a later date with burial at Poskin Lutheran Cemetery.

Arrangements are being handled by Rausch and Steel Funeral Home in Barron.
