Clarice Jacobs-Johnson was brought into this world on October 19, 1940, through the union of Luka Jacobs and Mildred Wright-Jacobs. In this union there were six boys and three girls, and because Clarice was the first girl until she was roughly 12 years old, It brought her great joy when her two sisters were born.
