Delia Harris Jacobs

Delia Harris Jacobs of Clayton, Georgia, died January 11, 2017 at the age of 57. Delia was born in Jacksonville, Florida, although she was always a Georgia Peach. She was the daughter of Gary C. Harris of Clayton, Georgia and the late Charity Delores Harris of Marietta, Georgia.

Delia loved life and doing for others. She was truly a righteous person, proven through her many acts of kindness to others and her expectation of nothing in return. She provided meals and company to elderly neighbors and always gave help to anyone in need, always putting her own needs second. Married to Charles Brian Jacobs for over 23 years, she was a nurturing and loving wife.

Before marrying Charles, Delia was a mortgage loan broker and for many years assisted Charles with their family business, in a real estate related profession. Delia and Charles were an inseparable business team and regardless of any adversity, they remained madly in love.  Later in life, Delia and Charles moved from their home in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to Clayton, in order to care for her father and assist him and her stepmother, Teresa Harris Felt, as a paralegal in his law practice.

In addition to her husband, father, stepmother, Delia is survived by her loving son, Brian E. Royston, of Atlanta, his fiancée, Alexandra Mastin; two brothers, Cain V. Harris, of Cumming and Cleveland A. Harris, of Clayton; Danny and Barbra Royston, of Jefferson, GA.  Survivors also include adoring nieces, nephews, and her mother in law, Katherine “Kitty” Jacobs of Atlanta who was always a role model to Delia and one who Delia loved dearly.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 2:00 January 28, 2017 at Beck Funeral Home. A celebration of life service will follow at 2:00 PM in the Chapel of Beck Funeral Home.
