Angela Sue Jacobs of Orlando, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on July 19, 2022, after a valiant fight with breast cancer.
She was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on March 1, 1969, and grew up in Boiling Springs, where she attended school and participated in chorus, yearbook staff, basketball and field hockey. Her love of sports led her to major in Sports Journalism at the University of South Carolina; and, she later received her master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri.
Angela's award-winning journalism career began in Fort Myers, Florida in 1993 and took her to Meridian, Mississippi and then Madison, Wisconsin where she hosted a sports show for the Lady Badgers of the University of Wisconsin. In 2003, she settled in Tampa, working for Channel 10 and covering the Tampa Bay Rays for Fox Sun Sports for 9 years, where she earned two Emmys among other accolades for excellence. A few of her career highlights were covering the Superbowl, the Stanley Cup, and the 2008 World Series. For the last 8 years, she has worked as a reporter for Channel 9 News in Orlando.
Angela was passionate about her family, friends, and her beloved dog, Minka. She enjoyed sports, travel, photography, and her favorite get-away spot, St. Pete Beach. For the last four years, she fought breast cancer, intending to learn as much as possible in order to help others going through the same ordeal. Our family is devastated by her loss, and her brave heart will be an inspiration to us always.
