Marian Calhoun Jacobs
Dignity, elegance, faith-filled
and a phenomenal woman are all
words that describe Marian Cal-
houn Jacobs, a long- time Port-
land resident who inherited a rich
legacy of faith, family, character,
leadership and entrepreneurship.
She was born March 11, 1918
in Malvern, Ark., the second child
of Virgil Calhoun Sr. and Orrie
Rall Calhoun. She died Oct. 13,
2015 at the age of 97.
Marian married Frank R. Ja-
cobs on Oct. 12, 1939. The cou-
ple relocated to Portland in 1944
where she completed her educa-
tion at Portland State University
and in 1958 began teaching in the
Portland Public School District
where she received many presti-
gious honors over a 20 year ca-
reer. She was selected as Oregon’s
Outstanding Teacher of the Year
in 1974 and was a member of the
Oregon Association of Black Ed-
ucators for Outstanding Achieve-
ment.
After retirement she devoted
more time to the Zeta Sigma Ome-
ga Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority.
Marian and Frank did not have
any children of their own. She
was preceded in death by her hus-
band in May 1979; her parents;
siblings Elvie Sanders, Grace Wi-
ley, Mary Davis, Virgil Calhoun
Jr. and Edna Calhoun; her loving
nieces Orrie Lee Davis and Shree
Calhoun Bell; and nephew Bobby
Calhoun. She leaves to mourn her
loss a host of nieces, nephews, and
great, great-great and great-great-
great nieces and nephews.

nal resting place is in Portland,
