AWC Tulsa

Today, AWC Tulsa and our Board of Directors are remembering the remarkable life of Jorja Jacobs.

Jorja was a valued member of our organization whose presence made every room brighter. She was dynamic, sassy, witty, and fiercely intelligent, with a heart as big as her personality. She had a special gift for making people laugh, putting others at ease, and making everyone feel welcome. Her kindness, compassion, and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Jorja's spirit will be deeply missed, and her warmth, laughter, and friendship will never be forgotten.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched during this difficult time.
