LaTarnesha Jonquil Marie "Nesha" Jacobs, affectionately known as ''Nesha,'' was a radiant light born on June 24, 1992, in Pine Bluff, to LaTara Owens and Demetrius Jacobs. From the very beginning, Nesha lived life with a contagious joy, a nurturing heart, and a passion for caring for others. She accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age, and her faith remained a guiding force throughout her life.
Nesha's journey was filled with purpose and compassion. She found her calling as a Registered Nurse, traveling near and far to provide healing hands and a warm smile to those in need. Her career led her to serve with dedication at Arkansas Heart Hospital, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and AYA Healthcare, where she was cherished not only for her clinical skill but for her boundless love and energy.
To know Nesha was to know laughter, kindness, and an unwavering love for her family and friends. She lived life fully - whether it was a spontaneous road trip, a heartfelt conversation, or a moment spent with her children. Her spirit lifted everyone she encountered.
She was preceded in death by her beloved grandmother, Carrie Mae Owens, who passed just two months prior. We take comfort in knowing they are now reunited in the presence of the Lord.
Nesha leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and resilience in her three precious children: Derriunna Davis, Heith Penn, and Princeton Liam Robinson. Her memory will also be cherished by her devoted parents, LaTara Owens and Demetrius Jacobs (Carol) ; grandparents; a host of loving cousins; countless dear friends; and coworkers who admired and adored her.
Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice in the beautiful life she lived and the lasting impact she made. Nesha's smile, her spirit, and her strength will forever live on in all of us.
Funeral services will be 3:30 p.m. Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Stephenson-Dearman Funeral Chapel. There will be a Wake Friday evening from 4-6 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will be in Oakland Cemetery.
