Elizabeth Jacoby Obituary
Elizabeth "Libby" Franklin Jacoby, 72, of Fredericksburg passed away on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
Libby was vibrant and active, finding joy outdoors and in the company of those she cared for. She loved spending time near water, be it the ocean, the pool, or the Potomac River. She thrived on the tennis court and the ski slope, sports that reflected her energetic spirit and love of life. A devoted daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, Libby's greatest pride was her family, whom she cherished deeply. She was also an active member of the Parnassus Club and the Fredericksburg Ski Club, where she formed lasting friendships and gave generously of her time and talents. Libby's warmth, enthusiasm and care-free spirit will be remembered always.
She is survived by her partner, Kevin O'Bannon; children, Bert (KC), Anne (Amanda), David (Kaila), and Kate (Andy); grandchildren, Henry, Sam, Jane, Vivian, Ben, Zoey, Desmond, Felix, Reid, Annalyn, and Silas; and brothers, Banks (Sandy) and Jimmy (Maria).
She was preceded in death by her father, Harry Banks French Franklin; mother, Anne Yates Colbert Bade; husband, Albert Henry Jacoby Jr.; and grandson, Zachary Graham Jacoby.
A service will be held at 11 a.m., on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at St. George's Episcopal Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank.
