March 9, 1929 ~ September 22, 2020
Dear mother of Jacki (Tom), Loving Grandmother of Rachel (Chris) & Adam (Jackie), six Grandchildren: Leah, Lindsay & Samantha Lisle and Audrey & Luke Halay and five great-grandchildren.
Preceded in death by her parents Howard & Hazel (Liston) Taylor, sisters Maxine, Isabelle, Lois and her brothers Glen, Darrell & Frank and ex-husband Jack Jacoby.
Born in Wileyville, West Virginia on March 9, 1929 and moved with her family to Ravenna, Ohio in 1944. Her feet were in Ohio, but her heart was in West Virginia. She was a hard worker and always had two jobs. Cooking was her passion and occupation. She had been a cook for the Portage County Sherriff’s Department, Portage County Nursing Home and several restaurants: Hazels, Triangle Pharmacy and East Park.
Her favorite sayings were “Family First” and “Charity Begins At Home”. A very generous and loving person, she helped anyone who was in need.
She was a member of the New Testament Baptist Church in Ravenna.
A special “Thank You” to Vista Veranda Assisted Living & Memory Care and to Brookdale Hospice.
Memorial donations can be made to the Center of Hope in Ravenna.
Psalm 146:7 "He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry".
Due to the pandemic and for the safety of family and friends, a private graveside funeral service, officiated by her nephew Reverend Allen Rittman, is planned. Interment will follow at Grandview Memorial Park.
