Born June 26, 1929, our beloved matriarch Pearl Berger Jacobs of Mequon, Wisconsin, died Thursday, December 25th, 2025 at the age of 96. A native of the Bronx, New York, she was the devoted wife of the late David L. Jacobs, and the loving mother of Dr. Terry Jacobs (Dr. Diane Jacobs) of Bayside, Wisconsin, and Susan Jacobs (Andrea Ring) of Novato, California. She was blessed with five grandchildren: Alexander, Amanda, Ruby, David, and Danielle. She was the precious daughter of the late Samuel and Anna Berger of New York, sister of the late Estelle Resnick of Mt. Vernon, New York, and BFF of her first cousin, the late Roz Golden, of New Rochelle, New York. She was the cherished aunt of Judy Resnick of Orlando, Florida and Dr. Jan Resnick of Perth, Australia, and great-aunt of Freddy Carballo of Yelm, Washington and Erika Espinosa Aksenova of Moriarty, New Mexico. Pearl will also be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins, and friends whose lives she touched.

A graveside service was held December 30th, 2025 at Mount Hebron Cemetery in Flushing, New York where she was laid to rest alongside her dear husband.

A graduate of Hunter College and Montclair State University, Pearl had a long, fulfilling career as an executive secretary in Manhattan and as a high school teacher in New Jersey. After retiring she and Dave moved to Wynmoor in Coconut Creek, Florida where she actively participated in her senior community. She served as building director, she founded a lending library and was a dedicated volunteer at the Liberal Jewish Temple of Coconut Creek. She loved to travel, domestically and internationally; she was talented at sewing, creating beautiful quilts and wall hangings; and was a fantastic cook, sharing her love of food with family and friends. She was a passionate advocate for Israel, children, animals, and social justice.

She was the glue that held our family together. Her loving legacy and generous spirit will live on in our hearts.
