Mary M. Jacobs, 84, of Chambersburg, PA, passed away on March 1, 2019, in her home. Born December 7, 1934, in Chambersburg, she was a daughter of the late John F. and A. Margaret Saum Costello.
Mary was a 1952 graduate of the Catholic High of Baltimore.

She spent most of her career at the Chambersburg Hospital, working in the payroll department, retiring in 1995, after 29 years of service. Mary was very family oriented, and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, siblings, and her grand puppies. She always loved hosting their summer family reunions, alongside her husband, Mike and was famous for her homemade Maryland crab soup. She and Mike enjoyed traveling together, to such destinations as Delaware and Charleston, South Carolina and several other destinations with family and friends. Mary liked going to the casino and doing crossword puzzles. She was a member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Chambersburg and the Franklin County AARP, chapter 2287.

In addition to her parents, her best friend and husband, Michael A. Jacobs, preceded her in death a short 5 months ago, on October 6, 2018; as well as her sisters, Margaret “Peggy” Wall and Jacqueline Reglar.
