Carol A Jacob

Carol Ann (Marble) Jacob, 82, Inverness, died Thursday, Oct. 3, under the
brief but essential care of HPH Hospice.
Born May 28, 1937, in Norway, Maine, to Ernest and Elizabeth (MacLean)
Marble, she was the eldest of three children. While attending Goddard
College in Plainfield, Vermont, she met and married Piers Jacob, following
him as he entered the Army after he graduated. They married June 23, 1956,
moving to Florida from Oklahoma in 1959. They raised two daughters, the late
Penelope Jacob, and Cheryl, moving the family from Gulfport to Inverness in
1977.
Carol loved to read, mostly British Regency romance novels, first in print
and later in ebook format. She collected dragonfly artwork and images of
Florida’s wildlife. She volunteered at the outreach center of the Citrus
Abuse Shelter Association (CASA) for nine years before her health declined,
forming friendships with the advocates at the women’s shelter.
Survivors include her husband of 63 years, Piers; daughter Cheryl;
son-in-law John, granddaughter Logan and sister Jane (Cary) McConnell, all
of Eugene, Oregon; and brother Curt Marble of Harvard, Massachusetts.
There will be no services. Memorials may be made to CASA, www.casafl.org or
