Marcele is preceded in death by both parents; brother, Clare; and her husband, Harold Jacobs.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Ronald (Vickie Barlow) Jacobs and Thomas (Vickie) Jacobs; daughters, Judy (John) Tomlian and Debra (Brian) Jurich; ten grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Family was the most important thing to Marcele. She had love for everyone and never passed judgement. Marcele loved animals, especially cats and dogs. She could often be found visiting friends or going out to restaurants. Marcele was a thrill seeker, enjoying travel, golf-cart rides, and camping. She always had a cup of tea in the afternoon, and looked forward to the chance to play bingo. Marcele was a speedy shopper, almost impossible to keep up with in a grocery store. She was a devout Catholic and member of St. Thomas Aquinas. Even when she was unable to attend mass, she would watch it on T.V.
A memorial mass will be held Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m. at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, 955 Alton Rd in East Lansing. Interment will occur at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association, 2469 Woodlake Cir Suite 100, Okemos, MI 48864.
