Celebration of Life Ceremony for Sunny Jacobs


Join us for a heartfelt gathering to honor and celebrate the remarkable life of Sunny Jacobs. The ceremony will take place at 89 Leonard St, a venue that holds special significance to Sunny. We will come together to share stories, memories, and pay tribute to a truly extraordinary individual. This in-person event will be a beautiful opportunity to reflect on Sunny's legacy and the impact she had on all of our lives. Let's come together to celebrate a life well-lived.


Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Sunny Jacobs

We are deeply honored to invite you to join us in celebrating the remarkable life of Sonia “Sunny” Jacobs—a woman whose spirit, kindness, and unwavering hope touched everyone she met.

Sunny’s journey was extraordinary. She overcame unimaginable circumstances with a smile on her face and a heart full of love. Despite her own pain and struggles, Sunny always focused on giving her energy to others—whether through her advocacy, her compassion, or the joy she shared with her pets and loved ones. She believed in the goodness of people and dedicated her life to supporting those who needed it most.

Sunny’s story of wrongful conviction, her resilience after so many years of injustice, and her relentless work to support exonerees make her a true hero. Her legacy is a testament to her enduring hope and her belief that everyone deserves a second chance. She was a beacon of light, reminding us all of the power of forgiveness, love, and perseverance.

As we come together to honor her memory, we encourage you to remember and share your stories—of Sunny’s smile, her kindness, the moments you shared, or how she touched your life. Your stories are a vital part of this celebration, and together, they form a tapestry of her enduring impact.
