Linda's obituary
Linda Sue Jacobs, born on October 4th, 1962, and a woman of strength, determination, and humor, sadly left us on August 28, 2023. Known for her love of fishing and bargain hunting, Linda's spirit and resilience will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
She is survived by her sons; Christopher Cook of Warren County, TN (Heather), and Jesse Cook of Indianapolis, IN (Felicia), her grandsons; Orion, Jacob, Dagyn, and Tobin Cook, her great grandson; Jacob Cook Jr., granddaughters; Rayvn and Elizabeth Cook, siblings; Bonnie Farris (Danny), Patricia Spears, Joyce Cook (Robert), and David Jacobs Jr (Heidi). She had a large extended family, leaving behind many nieces and nephews. In addition, her countless friends will miss her dearly, many of whom she considered family, especially Kelly Phillips who she claimed as the daughter she never had. She was preceded in death by her father, David Jacobs, and her mother, Betty Jacobs.
Leaving behind more than just memories, Linda took a brave and selfless decision to donate her body to science in the hopes of contributing to cancer research. This act of generosity reflects her strong spirit and unwavering determination to make a difference, even in her passing. Linda's legacy is one of courage, resilience, and hope for a future of advancements in medical research.
The loss of Linda will be most keenly felt by her constant companion, Frankie - the French Bulldog that brought her countless moments of joy and companionship. Linda's love for life, her good humor, and her unwavering strength will remain an inspiration to all who had the privilege to know her.
In alignment with Linda’s wishes, there will be no formal services. There will be an informal gathering planned in the future.
