Janice F. Jacobson, 65, Minot, died Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008, in a Minot nursing home.
Janice was born on July 19, 1943, a daughter of George and Dorothy (Frye) Stebleton in Minot. She was raised and educated in Minot, graduating in 1961 from Minot High School.
On July 6, 1963, she was united in marriage to Merlin Jacobson in Minot. They made their home in Minot, where Janice worked as a dietary supervisor for St. Joe's-Unimed-Trinity for 47 years.
