Sr. Mary Louise Jacobs, SFP
Cincinnati - Jacobs, Sister Mary Louise, our beloved Sister passed into the heart of God on October 6, 2021 at the age of 89 in her 74th year of religious life. Born in Hamilton, Ohio to the late George and Lillian Jacobs, the only girl amid five brothers. Throughout her entire life, Sr. Mary Louise spoke lovingly of her parents, brothers and family. She joined the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor in 1947 after graduating from St. Joseph School. From her earliest days, she expressed a sincere desire to completely serve God and neighbor however God would reveal. In turn, Sr. Mary Louise made herself available to whatever was asked of her or wherever she was needed. In her encounters with others, she met and accepted others where they were at and tended to them in whatever capacity she could offer. With such an open heart, she served in a wide range of ministries including: dietary, housekeeping, laundry, thrift store, as sacristan, assisting in archives and offering ongoing hospitality to all. Perhaps, her greatest love of ministry was as a modern Franciscan mendicant, pursuing donations at St. John's on Pendleton Street and routinely going to Finley Market to literally beg for those in need. Sr. Mary Louise delighted others in sharing stories of her various encounters, always relying on the generosity of others to provide for the poor. She was a strong woman of prayer, remembering all those who were in need and those who provided for them. Her three favorite words, that were ever on her lips were, "God Bless You!". In her later years, she continued to extent her kindness and gentleness and remained attentive to prayer despite facing serious health challenges. Sr. Mary Louise was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers George, Omer, Ralph, Cletus and Robert. She will be lovingly remembered by her Sisters: The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor and Associates, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends and acquaintances. God Bless YOU, Sr. Mary Louise! A Wake and Liturgy of Resurrection will be held on Monday, October 11th at St. Clare Chapel. The service will be livestreamed on Facebook at Franciscan Sisters of the Poor/US Area at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, kindly direct donations in her memory to: Franciscan Ministries Inc., 110 Compton Road, Cincinnati, OH 45215 or at www.franciscanministriesinc.org.
