Frances Jacobson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Moles Farewell Tributes & Crematory – Greenacres on Dec. 6, 2025.
Francie was born in Bellingham, WA., to Alfred and Dorothy (Royal) Thomas. She was the youngest of five children. Francie met her future husband (Lyle), of 68 years, at Bellingham High.

Together, they had three children: Bill (Cindy) Jacobson, Kathy (Kraig) Rosencrantz, and Tom (Lori) Jacobson; four grandchildren: Jacob (Cynthia) Rosencrantz, Caitlin Jacobson, Samatha (Jesse) McMahan, and Paul Rosencrantz; and two great-grandchildren: Trinity and Asher Rosencrantz. Preceding her in death were her parents, siblings, William, Richard, Marjorie, Robert, and her husband, Lyle.

Francie was an extremely talented artist in oil painting, as well as ENTIRELY hand-sewn quilts that she also designed. Francie and Lyle built several houses, boats, and together restored 10 classic cars that they enjoyed attending car shows with and winning many awards. If it required creativity, Francie could do it!

Francie graduated from Skagit Valley College at age 40 with a degree in Electronics and started her own VCR repair business.

Francie was a very special lady who will be greatly missed.

Graveside services will be held at 2:00 PM, Tuesday, December 09, 2025, at Greenacres Memorial Park, located at 5700 Northwest Dr. in Ferndale, WA. 98248.
