Karen B. Jacobs died peacefully, at home, with her family at her side on November 10, 2016, following a long battle with cancer.  

​

She is survived by her husband Scott, and children Bradley and Elizabeth. Karen's son Gregory died in 2007. Karen and Greg, mother and son, are forever united in our hearts.

​

Scott, Liz, and Brad request that, in lieu of flowers, donations honoring Karen's memory be made to the Nature Conservancy.
