Jackie Ann (Johnson) Aus, died on Friday, June 8, 2018, at the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd, New Rockford, ND.  Jackie was born June 2, 1940, the daughter of James F. Johnson and Patricia Mae (Bass) Johnson.

Jackie graduated from New Rockford Central High School in 1958 and went on to Business College in Fargo.  She worked in Fargo for several years. She married Melford “Whitey” Aus in 1962 and they divorced in 1969. She returned to New Rockford and was employed by Erling Rolfson Insurance and Campbell Construction. In 1971 she moved to St. Paul MN. 

In 1972, Jackie joined Bremer as a secretary to the CEO and the Foundation.  During her tenure, she served as the executive administrator to four CEOs and presidents, in addition to providing support to the BFC Board.  She kept the Executive office organized and on-track for many years, served as the company’s informal historian, and as the corporate secretary for the Board of Directors. She retired on June 25, 2007.

In 2010, she “temporarily” moved in with her mother after she needed some assistance at home.  In March of 2015, Jackie entered the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd. She was the aunt, sister, cousin and friend whom everyone would want to have as she cared deeply for all of us.
