Ms. Queen Ann Elizabeth Jacobs was born December 28, 1954 in Ahoskie, North Carolina. She was a daughter of the late Madicar and Janie Benjamin Nelson, Sr. She departed this earthly life on Tuesday, March 28, 2017. Queen attended the public schools of Richland County and graduated with the class of 1974 from Dreher High School. She was always eager to learn and furthered her education at Mansfield Business College where she majored in office administration. Later she received a certification in child care prior to becoming a licensed cosmetologist at age fifty. During the later years of her life, Queen worked as a guest teacher with Richland County School District One. She was also a voting poll worker for Richland County. At an early age, she joined Mount Sanai Holiness Church. Continuing to serve God’s people, she later joined the Homeless Outreach Ministry. Yet, she also attended the Roberson Memorial Holiness Church and Outreach Ministries. Queen was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She devoted her time with many and her loving generosity was shared not only with her family but with neighbors and friends. Ms. Jacobs was well known at G. W. Boutiques also known as Good Will and ensured that her loved ones had everything they needed...plus some. Her favorite past times were listening to blues and jazz music, shopping at all the thrift stores, yard and rummage sales. She was a transparent person who was easy to talk to. She was giving, hilarious, blunt, loving and with her there was never a dull moment. She was a mother figure and the neighborhood “candy lady”. She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, William, Russell and Madicar Nelson, Jr. Left to cherish precious memories are: three children, Amber (Kenneth) Caldwell, Grice (Tacoa) Jacobs, II and Kennetha Archie all of Columbia, South Carolina; two grandchildren, Kendra and Joseph Caldwell; sisters, Mary Anderson (Jacob), Bessie Nelson, Maebelle (Herbert) Padgett and Janie Webb; a brother, Alexander Nelson and a host of loving nieces, nephews, other loving relatives and friends all of whom will miss her dearly.
