Gladys Marvell Jacob Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate Gladys Marvell Jacob of Shelbyville, Tennessee, born in Portales, New Mexico, whose life came to an end on August 12, 2025 at the age of 82, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As Gladys departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Gladys may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Gladys leaves behind.

Nicolas) of Nashville, Mark Tyner Bargers (Lisha) of Shelbyville and Cherrilyn Mikelle Horn (Scott) of Shelbyville. She is also survived by six grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
