Patricia “Pat” Jacobs (McCarthy), 83, a lifelong resident of Glens Falls, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 2, 2019 surrounded by family in her home after a short illness.
Born on January 28, 1936 at Glens Falls Hospital, she was the daughter of the late Jere and Laura (Campbell) McCarthy.

Pat married George “Jake” Jacobs in 1956, and the couple resided in the home that they built on Oneida Street for 58 years.

She adored camels, and her diverse collection was ever-growing. She could often be found caring painstakingly for her marigolds, hostas, tiger lilies and other flowers in the summer, or playing solitaire at the kitchen table in winter.
She and Jake were longtime members of the community at the Talk of the Town restaurant. They enjoyed spending winters together in Florida for many years, where she especially loved to visit Sea World.
She was a member of and volunteer at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Glens Falls in her early life, and a member of Saint George Antiochian Orthodox Church in her later years.
