Samuel Jacobs, 83, entered the arms of his Savior in the early morning hours of Tuesday, May 2, 2017, surrounded by his loving wife and children.

On November 3, 1956, he wed the love of his life, Ellen Newell and they were married for 61 years. He was intensely devoted to their five children, and had the privilege of knowing and loving his nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Ellen; his children, Lisa (Jacobs) Miles and husband Lawrence of Colchester, David and Victoria (Shields) Jacobs of Fort Covington, NY, Samuel Jacobs of Springfield, VT, Michael Jacobs and Lauren Kelley of Essex Junction, and Mark and Beth (Paparella) Jacobs of Essex Junction.
