Angeline Rose (Pullo) Jacob, 77, of Niagara Falls, NY went home to be with her Lord on Thursday October 21, 2010 in Mt. St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, NY after a courageous battle with a long illness. Although bedridden for nearly 20 years, her illness never hindered her from being a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Her positive attitude will always be remembered by many. She was the daughter of the late Dominic and Rose (Lucatra) Pullo. On January 15, 1955 she married Joseph L. Jacob in Sacred Heart Church in Niagara Falls, NY. Mr. Jacob predeceased her on October 8, 2009.

During her sons' school years, Angeline served as president of the St. Teresa's School Mother's Club and was one of the instrumental forces in forming their midnight bingo program, raising funds for school activities. At Bishop Duffy High School, Angie also served as Mother's Club President as well as volunteering at the library and bingo.
