Tina M. Jobbagy Jakab, age 52, of Trumbull, beloved wife of Stephen Jakab, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

She had a wonderful second career as a licensed hair stylist, practicing at Harry's Hair Design in Westport and in a home salon of which she was very proud. Tina brought countless gifts to all those who knew her, particularly her warmth, style, marvelous sense of humor and an unforgettable smile that lit up every room.
