Bernice Peters Jacobs,"Nici," age 97, passed away on May 28, 2025, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and proud great-grandmother. Bernice was born in Richmond, Virginia, to parents, Robert S. Peters and Ida Coplan Peters. Bernice was preceded in death by her husband of more than 60 years, Alvin Jacobs. She and Alvin raised their family in Petersburg, Virginia, and later retired to Virginia Beach. She was also preceded in death by her three siblings, Ruth Peters Jacobson, Freda Peters Mollen, and Herbert Peters. She turned her lifelong passion of antiques into a successful career, working up until her early 90s, most recently at Barrett Street Antiques in Virginia Beach. She is survived by her loving daughters, Amy Lynn Jacobs, of Virginia Beach, and Ann Jacobs Bocock and her husband, James Bocock, of Boca Raton, Florida; her granddaughter, Blair Bocock DeMinico and her husband, Thomas DeMinico; and great-granddaughter, Coralie DeMinico, of Fort Myers, Florida. The family is deeply grateful to the dedicated team at Westminster Canterbury Hospice, whose kindness and gentle care brought peace and comfort to Nici and her loved ones in her final days. To honor her memory and her love of children, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, in Virginia Beach. To honor her wishes there will be no service.
