Deseret News, The (Salt Lake City, UT) - October 31, 1999
Deceased Name: Obituary: Grant Baldwin Jacobs OGDEN--
Grant Baldwin Jacobs left this world peacefully, October 28, 1999, with his wife Anne beside him. He was at home in his favorite place. His mind was alert, and he maintained his wonderful sense of humor until his passing.
Grant was born March 2, 1920 in Riverdale, Utah. He was raised in Riverdale and attended Weber High School. He attended Weber Jr. College where he played football.
Grant was raised as member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He served a mission to the Eastern States from 1940-42. He served as a Bishop, Stake High Councilman, counselor in the Stake Presidency, and at the time of his death he was serving as a stake patriarch. When he returned from his mission he married his high school sweetheart, Leah Kendell on April 29, 1942 in the Salt Lake Temple. They endured a three year separation while Grant served his country in World War II from 1942-1945.
When Grant returned from the War he continued his education at the University of Utah and graduated in 1948. He started his career in Education as Principal/Teacher in Myton and Roosevelt, Utah. He moved his small family to California in 1949. He was appointed Superintendent of Schools of the Hughson Elementary School District where he served for 32 years. He was highly respected for being a meticulous planner, fiscally responsible, and a detailed negotiator. He was devoted to the students and faculty of the school district.
Grant and Leah made their home in Hughson, California. They raised five children, Dr. Parley (Marilyn) Jacobs, Salt Lake City, UT; Dr. Murray (Janie) Jacobs, Modesto, CA; Mrs. Gloria (Robert) Johnson, Salt Lake City, UT; Mrs. Joye (Dr. Brian) Shiozawa, Salt Lake City, UT; Mrs. Janell (John) Walker, Everett, WA.
Grant enjoyed the simple things in life, although he knew and understood life in its complications. He golfed regularly and exemplified how to be patient. He enjoyed his family, good food, chocolate and friends. Grant's gift to all who knew him was his love for people, his wonderful sense of humor, his songs and poems and his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In 1989 Grant married Anne F. Bingham. He is survived by his wife, Anne, and her son, Clyde (Jean) Stoker, MT; and daughter, Joanie S. (Richard) Prestis, AZ; and his five children and 16 grandchildren; sisters, Susan J. Romney, Salt Lake City, UT; Retta Watkins, Modesto, CA; and one brother, Wayne Jacobs, Concord, CA. He is also survived by Dee Kendell, Wallace and June Kendell, Blaine and Ruth Kendell, Jay and Elaine Kendell, Julian Geiger and Clyde Parker.
The family's personal correspondence to one another was always closed with the word "eternities", this was a reminder that the bonds of love last throughout the eternities.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, November 1, 1999, 1 p.m. at the Ogden 43rd Ward, 1643 26th Street, Ogden, where friends may call Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and one hour prior to services on Monday. Funeral arrangements under the direction of Leavitt's Mortuary.
In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to Hospice, IHC, 3776 Wall Ave., Ogden, Utah 84405. As a family we gratefully express our appreciation to Hospice for their warm and tender care.
Interment, Uintah City Cemetery.

Grant Baldwin Jacobs
Grant attended Riverdale Grade School and was in the 1st grade that his sister, Emma, taught. He graduated Weber High School. He filled a Church mission in the Eastern States before enlisting in the Army. He spent a miserable few years as a soldier going with troops through northern Africa and into Italy. He and his high school sweetheart were married before he left which seemed to elongate those seemingly interminable years.
When he returned to civilian life he entered the University of Utah and prepared to teach. His first teaching experience was in Miton, Utah. On a Summer trip to Modesto, California, he made application at Hughson, just ten miles out of Modesto, and was fortunate to secure a Principalship which developed into a Superintendent’s position. He and Leah remained there for the next twenty five years, raising a family of two boys and three girls.
Grant was loved by both students and parents. The large new gymnasium built in Hughson was named in his honor.
His wife, Leah, died shortly after his retirement. When attending a Weber high School reunion he met an old classmate, a cousin to Leah. This culminated in love and marriage. They now live in Ogden, Utah. Grant, unfortunately, has developed Parkinson’s Disease but is being very heroic in attempting to keep pace with friends and family. He and Ann golf regularly and enjoy traveling.
The above was entered into the computer by Paul Jacobs Farnsworth in November, 1998, from some family notes sent to him by Susan Jacobs Romney, his aunt.
