Christine Jacobs
October 2, 1961 – November 6, 2026

Christine Jacobs passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family, at American Fork Hospital on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 4:47 a.m., following a courageous and difficult three-year battle with cancer. She was 65 years old.

Born on October 2, 1961, in Provo, Utah, Christine was the daughter of Leslie Edwin Roberts and Della May Carter.

Known to most as Chris, she grew up and received her education in Provo, Utah. She left school early to begin raising her family but later returned to earn her GED before pursuing her passion for cosmetology. She began her career at Haircuts Plus in Orem, Utah, eventually building a business of her own with an in-home salon, where she continued doing what she loved.

Chris had a deep love for the outdoors and a spirit that was happiest with the sunshine on her skin. Whether she was soaking up the sun, taking a drive through the mountains, or simply finding somewhere new to explore, she was always ready to go. If there was somewhere she could drive, chances were she was going. Weeklong camping trips and spontaneous weekend getaways, with or without a tent, were a regular part of life. Friday night drive-in movies were another favorite, creating memories with her children that would last a lifetime.

She found happiness in the simple things in life. Gardening was one of her favorite pastimes, whether she was tending vegetable plants or simply getting her hands in the dirt, pulling weeds, and enjoying the time outdoors. She also had a curiosity for the world around her and a fascination with astrology, numerology, crystals, books, and documentaries. She loved learning, exploring new interests, and finding beauty and meaning in the things that captured her attention.

Above all else, Chris loved her family. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy, and she would do anything for them. Her love was evident not only in the things she said, but in the things she did. She devoted so much of her life to caring for her family, including raising four of her grandchildren. Her family was at the center of her world, and the memories, lessons, and love she leaves behind will continue to live on through the generations she cherished so deeply.

Christine is survived by her mother, Della May Roberts; her brothers, Terry Quigley, Jeffrey Layne Roberts, and Michael Lance Roberts; her sister, Michele Roberts; her sons, Jason Ward and Brandon Galloway; her daughters, Amy Davis (Derek), Amber Cox, Ashley Larkin (C.J.), Brandy Galloway, and Brittany Thompson (Wesley); 20 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her father, Leslie Edwin Roberts; and her brothers, Joseph Lynn Quigley, Edwin Leslie Roberts, and Kenneth Leon Roberts.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Though her time here has come to an end, the memories she created, the love she gave, and the family she devoted her life to will carry her legacy forward.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, November 13, 2026 at the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. The family will receive friends from 9:30-10:50 a.m. prior to services. Following the service, Christine will be laid to rest at Provo Cemetery.
