Alexandra Jacoby Obituary

Alexandra Sara Jacoby ("Alex") of Washington, DC, passed away on May 23, 2024, at age 41. She is survived by her mother, Dr. Eve Mościcki, her sister, Anna Jacoby. Her loyal dogs, Bear and Theora will miss her. She had been predeceased by her beloved father, Robert Jacoby. Ms. Jacoby attended Janney Elementary and Deal Junior High School, the Washington Waldorf School, and Virginia Commonwealth University. She was a strong and independent personality, kind spirit, voracious reader, and loyal friend. She loved her city, science fiction, the music of Queen and David Bowie, and above all else, dogs. Her love of animals was evidenced in her choice of occupation, including the dog care enterprise of which she was the sole proprietor at the time of her death. A celebration of life will be held in July. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Ms. Jacoby's name be sent to the Humane Rescue Alliance.

I just heard the news. I am so sad to hear of Alex´s passing. She was my first friend at VCU. We lived in the dorm just down the hall from each other. She was SO smart and so fun. Alex knew just about everything about literature and music. I was an awe of her. She once took me to DC when I was having a bad week and showed me around the city to cheer me up. She was a special girl. My heart goes out to her family.
