Virginia L. Jacobs

Virginia L. Jacobs, 71, of Quakertown, left this world of pain and sorrow to be forever with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on December 14, 2025 in St. Luke's Hospice House. She was the faithful wife of Richard E. "Rick" Jacobs, with whom she shared 43 years of marriage. Born in Bridgeton, NJ, she was the daughter the late Charles D. and Mildred (MacPherson) Wisham. Growing up with many animals on their family's small plot of land in New Jersey, she formed a love for animals. She graduated from Dehi University in New York State with an associate's degree in applied sciences and went on to become a Veterinary Technician for many years. She later became a CNA. She enjoyed spending quality time with her family, but her greatest joy was watching and spending time with her four beautiful grandchildren. Over the years she enjoyed many camping, fishing and Shore trips with her family. She also loved her plants. She had many beautiful gardens over the years and always had many plants inside making her house an indoor garden of foliage year-round. She was a faithful member of Lehigh Valley Baptist Church, where she touched the lives of so many with her sweet spirit and willingness to listen. She will be greatly missed by so many.

Ginger will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Rick; daughter, Rachel; son, Mark wife Heidi; grandchildren, Nathan, Caleb, Luke, and Emma; sister, Mary "Peggy" wife of Todd Fenstermacher.
