It has pleased almighty God, in accordance with His merciful and divine providence, on the afternoon of Monday, June 17, 2019 to summon to Himself out of this vale of tears the soul of Gwenda Marie Lee Jacobs.
Gwen was born December 1, 1932 in East Rochester, New York to Herman Dillman and Doris Mowry Lee. She was baptized in June 1940 at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Mendon, New York.
