Mary Lou Jacobs

Mary Lou Jacobs, 90, New Franken, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, while at Anna's House. Born August 14, 1932, in Bay Settlement, she was the second youngest of eight children born to William and Leona (LaPlant) Jacobs, Sr. The family lived on the family farm until Mary Lou was 28 years old. At this time, the family left the farm to reside in their new family home. Mary Lou had many challenges in her life, but always handled them in an acceptable and professional way. She was a very independent lady and managed to work a few smaller jobs over the years. Mary Lou will be remembered for her enjoyment of playing cards, especially with her sister, Annie, who would come on her regular Monday visits. She also enjoyed her phone calls from her brother, Rev. Bill. She loved doing crafts, reading, playing BINGO, cheering on the Packers, but most importantly was devoted to her Catholic faith.

Mary Lou is survived by her sister, Annabelle Skaletski, Green Bay; brother, Rev. William J. Jacobs, Jr., Portage, MI; one sister-in-law, Darlene Jacobs, Green Bay; further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers and sisters, Celena (Dick) VandeVoert, Robert (Bernice) Jacobs, Arlene (Ed) VerHeyden, Russell (Helen) Jacobs, Ronnie Jacobs; and a brother-in-law Norbert Skaletski.
