Miranda Jacobs
Miranda Jacobs was born Nov. 19,
1974, to Donald and Deborah Harris
in Abilene, Kansas. She has three
brothers and one sister.
When she was born, her dad was
in the Army and they were stationed
at Ft. Riley. When she was 2, the
family moved to Atchison where they
lived for a short while.
Her parents purchased a 20 acre
farm in Thomasville and Miranda at-
tended school in Buffalo up to the
6th grade. Her family decided to
move back to Atchison, and for the
next three years she went to school
there until they decided to move back
to Thomasville.
Miranda went to school up to her
senior year where she got bored with
it and decided to get married. Out of
this marriage she had three children,
one boy and two girls. She also has
five grandchildren who she loves and
cherishes so much!
After seven years of marriage,
Miranda and her husband went
separate ways and Miranda moved to
Windyville with her mom. Miranda
started working at B & D Truck Stop
in Lebanon.
This is where she met the man of
her dreams. “I was working one even-
ing, and Cliff Lowe came into the
store. He was on his way to go fish-
ing. I told him I wish I could go and he
said to come along. Of course I
couldn’t because I just came on shift.
A few weeks later he came back into
the store and this time, he asked me
out on a date. That was 14 years
ago,“ said Miranda.
“We say that we are “Forever
Engaged,” said Miranda.
Miranda came to Colonial Springs
in March 2019. She is a joy to be
around and socializes with the other
residents like they are her grandpar-
ents. She encourages them to do the
best they can every day.
Miranda loves to sing, so this
month we are conducting a Karaoke
day just for her. She also enjoys cro-
cheting and knitting, as well as sitting
outside and enjoying the nice weath-
er. But most of all, loves playing with
her grandchildren and visiting with
Cliff.
Thank you Miranda for allowing us
to get to know you better .
