Racine – Carol A. (nee: Theres) Jacobs, age 62, found peace on Sunday, April 30, 2017.

Carol was born in Racine on April 10, 1955. She attended Wadewitz Elementary, Gifford Middle and JI Case High School. Shortly after, she met a handsome young man by the name of Guy Jacobs. Six months later they were engaged….and on September 14, 1974 in St. Joseph Catholic Church – Racine, they were united in marriage. They celebrated their 40 ^th Anniversary of "true love" by visiting Walt Disney World in October 2014. Sadly, Guy passed away just a short time after, on December 15, 2014 as the result of a stroke. Life was never the same for Carol.

Although her main vocation in life was being a stay-at-home mom, Carol had been employed by Rudy's Deli, The Watering Hole, Racine Unified, Buddy Squirrel and even brightened the lives of many children while being the "Easter Bunny" at Regency Mall. In recent years, Carol served as a daycare teacher at TLC and Gifford….a position she thoroughly enjoyed. Some of her hobbies included Disney movies, sewing, a fan of Shirley Temple; appreciated the music of Kenny Rogers, Bread, Dolly Parton and Alabama; watching Dancing with the Stars and hanging out with her TLC friends. Above all, she loved and cherished being with her family….especially her grandchildren.

Surviving are her dear sons and daughters-in-law, Paul (Kellie) Jacobs and Jamie (Jaime) Jacobs; cherished grandchildren, Karma, Logan and Grant Jacobs; devoted sisters, Debbie Rowe and Barbie (Tim) Crane; special niece and nephews, Brittany and Chance Crane; Jeffery Rowe; step-mother, Wanda Theres; other relatives and friends – too numerous to mention all by name.

In addition to her loving husband, Carol was preceded in death by her mother, Beverly (nee: Funk) Theres; father, Norman Theres; brother, Scott Theres; niece, Tanya Rowe; and by Guy's parents, Russell (Lou) Jacobs and Leona (Erv) Edelberg.
