JACQUE ALFERS JACOBS
After a 3 ½ year battle, Jacque Jacobs succumbed to ovarian cancer on December 11, 2008. Those who knew Jacque were forever changed. She was an extraordinary wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Everyone was the beneficiary of her generosity of time, of deed, and of spirit. Hers was a life well lived with the grace, dignity, and humility of an unselfish and gentle soul.
The family will receive friends at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at the Church of the Resurrection, 13720 Roe Avenue, Leawood, KS. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 AM.
Jacque is survived by her husband, her mother, her father, three brothers, two sisters, 14 nieces & nephews, her mother-in-law, and her sister-law.
