CO before retiring in Fort Collins in 1995. Unfortunately Bob preceded Darlene in death in 1996. Darlene chose to make Fort Collins her home for the next 20+ years and continued to enjoy many activities and traveling the world with friends and family. Darlene was preceded in death by her 5 siblings - Albert (Roy) Jacobsen, Cletus Jacobsen, Francis Jacobsen, Norma (Jacobsen) Cary and Evelyn (Jacobsen) Hill. Her children, nieces and nephews have many fond memories of Darlene and her siblings laughing, joking and playing cards. There was nothing like a Jacobsen family gathering. We all believe they are currently enjoying the family favorite card game of Somerset with a constant roar of laughter and joking on who is playing it the best and the right way!
Darlene is survived by her two children, son Craig and wife Yvonne Hughes of Richmond, IN, Melinda (Hughes) and Jim Smit of Fort Collins, CO, 5 grandchildren, Megan (Hughes) and Bobby Weak of Gretna, NE, Tyler and Cassie Hughes of Gretna, NE, Stephanie Smit of Fort Collins, CO, Justin Smit of Colorado Springs, CO and Cody Smit of Fort Collins, two great grandchildren, Emmett House of Fort Collins and Hannah Hughes of Gretna, NE, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mom, Grandma, GrrGrr, Aunt Leanie, DD, Rose, Jake, will be missed by all.
