Margaret Mona Jacobs, age 44, passed away on February 6, 2022 at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, Ore., due to complications of a brief illness.

"Margy" as she was known to friends and family, graduated with High Honors from Brattleboro Central High School., then attended Champlain College, where she earned a degree in Science. Her interest in photography and journalism, and a love of food, combined, found her vocation with an Associate Bachelor's Degree from the Culinary Institute of America. During her externship she traveled extensively throughout the U.S. After graduation, she worked for industry leaders at The Landings, Savannah, Ga; Beaver Creek Resorts in Oregon and Colorado; Independent Resorts, Breckenridge, Colo., to mention a few. Her travels later to Greece, England, Ireland, and other European countries guided her to create food pastry programs for said organizations. "Margy" put together food and photography to represent such clients. She was in only a handful of youth to receive the New England Scholastic Press Association Journalism Award from Boston University College of Communications, Helen Smith Award. In later years, "Margy" created a small business, creating gourmet candies and recipes for industry. Her love of travel, photography, hiking and the culinary arts fulfilled her short life!
