Amy Sue Jacob, a picture of love and godliness, passed away on August 6, 2024, in Leesburg, VA. Born to Ernest and Martha White on January 4, 1941. Amy’s life was a tapestry of the fruit of the Spirit. She embodied what it means to be a woman of God.

‍Amy’s journey began in Morgantown, West Virginia, where she grew up with her siblings, Joy, Bonnie, and Betty. Amy was the youngest. They lived a simple life, but one where Christ was honored, and they learned to put God first in all things.

It was on July 22, 1961, that she married John Jacob, the love of her life. Their marriage was a testament to enduring love, faithfulness, and “togetherness.” Together, they raised four children: John, Joe, Jeff, and Marty, who were Amy’s pride and joy. John and Amy worked together to build a home established on faith in God and love for others. ‍

Amy loved well. Countless people felt the love of God pouring through her hugs and gentle words. Strangers would break into tears as she led them to trust in Jesus. Nobody felt like an outcast when Amy was around. She is remembered by many for the remarkable crochet blankets she spent hours and hours working on whenever she knew someone was having a baby. Amy was a visible demonstration of the love of God.

Predeceased by her parents, her beloved husband, and all her sisters. Amy is survived by her four children: John (Lynette) Jacob, Joe (Vilma) Jacob, Jeff (Cheryl) Jacob and Marty (Keith) Mullins. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren.

Family and friends will be received on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 12pm at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel, 1600 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA 22601. A funeral service will follow at
1:00pm at the funeral home, with her son, Dr. Jeff Jacob officiating. A time of food and fellowship will follow her services in the Reception Center at Omps Amherst Chapel.

Livestreaming of Amy’s service will be available through her obituary page on the Omps website.

‍Amy’s love and precious spirit will always be remembered by those who knew her.

So sorry for your loss. Hard to lose your mother as most of us know. I am glad you had her that long. She was a beautiful woman. Ann

Mama Jacob was very kind, loving and most of all a mom to most of us. She also preach Jesus where ever she went and let nothing hold her back. Mama Jacob, you will be truly missed we love you but Jesus loves you more 😘. Rest peacefully in the arms of your heavenly Father 🙏

Pastor Jeff: Sorry to hear your loved loss. I certainly had great memories when we met last time at Joel and Hadassa graduation party with both of your gracious presence. Rest in peace, Madam.

Amy was always the model of Christian love. She lived an exemplary life that honored her Lord and Savior in every way. She meant much to members of my family across the years and I have precious memories of times she blessed my life. She will be missed but we can rejoice that this separation is temporary. God's blessings to the Jacob family, may your hearts be comforted with His love and peace during this time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort and peace for everyone during this difficult time.

Thank you for being a great woman of God. Most Sunday morning while I would be helping to park/direct cars in the church parking lot, I would look forward to seeing you as you would always speak blessings over me and encourage me to continue working for God. I will always keep those words of encouragement with me. please take your rest and you will forever be missed mama Amy.

My condolences, your mom was a very special lady. Praying for your family.

It was the distinct pleasure of Pr. Yaw, the children, and myself to have been the recipients of your love, admiration, and prays. Your enthusiasm for Jesus was a spark for us to love him with all our hearts. We thank you for taking the Awuah family into the loving arms of your family. As you have taken flight to your eternal rest, hug Yaw for me and the kids. And rest in eternal peace. May your legacy of faith, family, and Jesus live on. Xernova, (late Pr. Yaw), Comfort, Kezia, & Calvin
