Rita Jacobs

Rita Easley Jacobs, passed away on February 18, 2020 at the age of 90.

Rita “Maw-Maw” Jacobs was a devoted Catholic and faithful member of St. Patrick Church.  She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother that cared deeply for her family and friends.  Her passion for cooking was greatly enjoyed by all and her joy of music kept an eternal smile on her face that will never be forgotten.  We know she is now with her savior the Lord Jesus Christ and her beloved husband Ellis “Paw-Paw” Jacob and will live forever in our hearts.

She is survived by her daughter, Gail G. Hinds; grandson, Charles E. Metrailer, III and wife Beth; granddaughter, Angie H. Barnes; great-grandchildren, Lauren E. Metrailer, Katie E. Metrailer, Emily E. Metrailer, Karlie Grace Barnes; sister, Annie Easley Thompson.
