Mrs. Hattie Mae "Brownie" Jacobs, daughter of the late Henry and   Lydia Stuckey, was born September 9, 1936, and departed this life on February 11, 2023 at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, SC. She was the third of nine children.

Hattie Mae, affectionately called "Brownie," attended the public schools of Lee County, graduating from Dennis High School in 1955. At an early age, she received Christ as her personal savior and joined Barnettsville Baptist Church where she maintained her membership  until moving to New York.

On February 14, 1956, she married Wilmar "WJ" Jacobs. This union was blessed with two children. After marrying WJ, they journeyed to New York. There Brownie continued her education, becoming a Radiologic Technologist specializing in mammography.

In 1995, she retired from Bellevue Hospital in New York, and in 1998 she moved to Atlanta, Georgia to be near her children. In 2006, she moved to Florence, SC to be closer to siblings. After moving to Florence, Brownie reestablished her affiliation with Barnettsville Baptist Church.

Brownie was a special caregiver to many family members in need. She was a very loving mother, sister, and aunt. When her mother passed, she became much like the matriarch of the family, showering them with love and encouragement. Brownie will be greatly missed by all. God has a special place in Heaven for people like her.

Brownie is survived by her daughter, Deirdre J. Bonaparte, two grandchildren, Daniel Bonaparte and Jordan Bonaparte, a sister, Betty S.
