Obituary for Sara Nicole Jacob

May 6, 1980 - January 5, 2022

Get some sleep sweetheart. Your struggle is over. The noises are quieted. Since the night of that dreadful teenage accident you lifted yourself up off the dark deserted road and walked on. Through pain, lost dreams, constant physical and emotional barriers you created a life, changed people you met with your kindness and support, and enriched us in uncountable ways. You fought on and persevered, continuing to pick yourself up and walk on time after time. Still the noises continued, stumbles occurred, and the pain endured. But now the noises are quiet, and you have found the music you so sought. We are left with the love you inspired within us.

Sara Nicole Jacob, 41, of Simsbury, CT passed away suddenly on January 5, 2022. Sara joins her maternal grandparents Nicolai and Ski Sowpel, her paternal grandfather Harold Jacob, her maternal uncle Kip Sowpel and her fur babies Honey, Gus and Cartman.

She leaves behind her parents, Ralph and Karen Jacob of Simsbury, her sister and brother-in-law, Katie and Dan Martino of Coventry, her nephew Jacob Martino, her paternal grandmother, Martha Gorman of West Haven, her paternal aunt, Linda McCluskey of West Haven, her paternal uncle and aunt, Bruce and Nancy Jacob of Bear Hollow, TN, her maternal aunt and uncle, Kim and Jeff Lary of Orange City, FL, her cousins Nicholas Jacob and Kristen Combs of TN as well as George and Patti Sowpel of Dennis, MA.
