Janice F. Jacobson 1943 - 2008

Janice F. Jacobson, 65, Minot, died Thursday, September 11, 2008 in a Minot nursing home.

Janice was born on July 19, 1943, a daughter of George and Dorothy (Frye) Stebleton in Minot, ND. She was raised and educated in Minot, graduating in 1961 from Minot High School.
On July 6, 1963, she was united in marriage to Merlin Jacobson in Minot. They made their home in Minot, where Janice worked as a Dietary Supervisor for St. Joe's-Unimed-Trinity for 47 years.
She was a kind, caring and giving person who enjoyed spending time with her family. She liked crafting and her custom Christmas ornaments become an annual holiday gift tradition. In recent years, she had fun trying her luck on the slot machines. In true Janice style, she always shared her winnings with others especially her cherished granddaughters. She had a zest for life and her positive energy, kind heart and devotion to family was an inspiration for all who knew her.
