Susan Jacobs Obituary

Susan Jacobs died Wednesday, June 25, 2014, after a courageous battle with ALS. Susan remained a deeply spiritual woman throughout this journey and her faith served her well. Her testimony was also a Christian witness to everyone around her. Susan was an Earthly picture of the woman described in I Peter 3:4- "a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God." Susan was born August 17, 1950, in Baton Rouge, LA. She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Rusty Jacobs, her three sons and their families; Wes and Carlie Jacobs and their children Reagen, Sydney and Wes Jr.; Jason and Amy Jacobs and their children Levi, Aubin Rose and Josiah; and Gabe and Kristen Jacobs and their son, Samuel and her mother, Maisie Raymond. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Amy Lynn Jacobs and her father, Leonard Soileau. Visitation will be held at Comite Baptist Church on Thursday, June 26, 2014, from 5 pm to 8 pm and continuing on Friday, June 27, 2014, at Comite Baptist Church from 10 am until service time at 11 am conducted by Rev. John Green and Rev. Bill Parsons. Susan's nephews, Todd, Kevin and Darren Browning; Chuck, Craig and Chris Pourciau will serve as her pallbearers. The family is grateful for the support and services of St. Joseph Hospice and the Louisiana/Mississippi Chapter of the ALS Association.

My Sweet Susan, you are where you belong, surrounded by Angels like yourself. You were such a bright spot in this dark world. You just didn't realize you were the one lighting it up. I have never met a kinder and purer heart than yours. Please find Edward, Daniel and Lori and tell then I miss them and love them. I always loved you. Rhonda

Dear Susan, your spirit touched this world and left it a better place. We so well remember how hard you worked to have your home perfect for Rusty when he returned from Viet Nam. Both you and Rusty are wonderful people. Now you are reunited with Amy and have seen Jesus and the home He went to prepare for us. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Mrs. Susan. As a St. Joseph's volunteer, I had limited time with her but those hours I spent visiting her truly touched my heart. I'm so thankful to have been able to spend time with her and bring a smile to her face by painting her nails her favorite color pink just 2 weeks ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this time.

Dear Rusty, Wes, Jason, and Gabe,
I am very sorry for your loss. Susan was one of the first persons to welcome me from Ohio to this beautiful state! I will never forget the times she and Connie Hennigan and I would have singing and talking at either Connie's house or your house in those early 1980s! Truly, they are both enjoying the presence of the One to Whom they sang to on earth! I'm praying for all of you.
Love in Christ,
Karen

We were blessed and privileged to have met Susan only once, this past Sunday. Judy and I were looking forward to many more, but I guess God needed her company more than all of us. It has been rare that either of us have met anyone with a more beautiful spirit and smile. We pray for her family, as we can only imagine their loss. We rejoice in the knowledge that Susan is in the sweet arms of Jesus Christ. What an honor it was to have known you Susan, if only for a short time, which is finally on your side.

May God continue to bless, protect, and intervene in your family's lives.
