Heather Jakacki (Cooper)

We mournfully announce the passing of Heather M. Jakacki, on January, 8, 2022 in the Wexner Medical Center in Columbus at the age of 48. She was born March 21, 1973 in Alliance to Constance (Jackson) Biggs of East Rochester and the late Walter Jakacki. She was a waitress at several local restaurants including Classic 57 in Minerva and was a cook for the Minerva Local Schools.  She graduated from Minerva High School in 1991 and attended Kent State Salem.  She had a beautiful soul, a heart of gold and a contagious smile. She was the greatest friend, a loving mom and the life of the party. She loved the sun and spent her vacations at the beach surrounded by family and friends.

She will be lovingly remembered by her life partner of 15 years Joshua Cooper, her mom Coni Biggs, her brother Colton Biggs, and her four children, Brooke Kinsey, Morgan (Dillon) Long, Jackson and Jordyn Cooper and her two grandchildren Guinevere and Milo.

A memorial service will be held Friday at 7:00 pm in the Gotschall-Hutchison Funeral Home in Minerva with Chaplain Larry Karlen officiating.  Calling hours will be held 2 hours prior to services from 5-7 pm.  Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society for Sarcoma Research.
