Jayne married her beloved husband, Roland F. Jacobs, on June 23, 1956. The couple recently celebrated their 65th anniversary. He preceded her in death on August 21, 2021.

Jayne enjoyed going shopping as much as she could with family and friends. She was always searching for leopard-print items, shoes, and jewelry. She enjoyed camping in their 5th wheel camper, traveling to Florida and many other destinations. Jayne was able to travel around quite well despite never having a driver’s license. She loved attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, especially softball games. She loved playing games such as Mexican Train and was known to lose her marbles during games. She was a member and past president of Cochranton TOPS and was very active and loved walking in her earlier years. She adored her family, enjoying family picnics, birthdays, and other get-togethers. She will be remembered as a loving and sweet mother and grandmother who was silly and had a great sense of humor.
