Shirley Jane Jacobs, age 90, of Holland passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 30, 2022 joyfully entering into her eternal home to be forever in the presence of her Heavenly Father.

Shirley was a very strong Christian woman, she was kind, thoughtful, caring and had a beautiful heart. Shirley loved people and was very social. She enjoyed dominoes, bus trips and was still playing cards just days before she passed away.
