Carolyn Echols Jacobs, 80, of Olive Branch, MS went to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 14, 2023. Mrs. Jacobs was preceded in death by her nephew, Chris Blankenship. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, George Jacobs; daughter, Melissa Riley (Bill); son, Stephen Jacobs (Debbie); grandchildren: Cecily Turkett (Jeremy), Holly Riley (Ronnie Plunk), Austin Jacobs (Christine), and Alexandra Feagin (Hunter); great-grandchildren: Travis Boyles, Eloise Turkett, and Ronnie Plunk III; sisters, Sheila Patel (BK) and Glenda Tilley; nephews: Brandon Blankenship, Jon Tilley, and Stephen Tilley; and niece, Erin Tilley. Throughout her life, Mrs. Jacobs worked as a bookkeeper for a construction company, a church secretary, and many years as a successful Mary Kay consultant. In her free time, she enjoyed painting and playing cards with friends and family. She loved her family deeply and was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She is a 3 time cancer survivor. One of the things her friends and family will miss most about her is her quick-witted humor. Mrs. Jacobs was a believer in Jesus Christ and a faithful member of the Olive Branch Church of Christ.
