Jacobs Sr. and Lonie A. (Caswell) Jacobs. Colleen was a loving and caring person and will be dearly missed by so many. She touched so many lives every day. She was well known as a waitress at Country Diner and will be forever missed by her co-workers, as well as her faithful customers. She enjoyed doing many things, but her newest joy was buying her first Harley. She loved the freedom she had while riding. This was a passion she shared with her loving husband, but her biggest passion was family. She enjoyed each and every minute she had with them, especially her grandkids. They were very special to her and they will miss her, but have many memories to hold on to.
