October 3, 2025, 57, Goldsboro —
Patricia “Patti” Ann Jacobi Holland, 57, of Goldsboro and formerly of Clayton, went to be with her Lord and Savior Friday, October 3, 2025 at her home. She was born February 14, 1968 in Suffolk County, NY to Patrick Rodney Jacobi and the late Karen Ann Koch Jacobi. In addition to her mother, she was predeceased by her canine companions, Wilson and Tara.
Patti worked for B. I. Incorporated, based in Boulder, CO, as an East Coast Regional Manager. When not working, she loved life on the Holland farm, raising chickens, sheep, goats, and other animals, and gardening on their beautiful property. Her love of animals also included fostering and training dogs while living in Clayton with her husband, Marcus.
If Patti weren’t on the farm, she would roam Wayne and Johnston counties on the weekends, looking for treasures in consignment shops and thrift store; always having an excellent eye for the best buys.
Family near and far would wait for Patti’s annual baking of whiskey cakes each Christmas; a tradition loved and appreciated by all who received them.
The love she poured into her family and friends carries them now, as they celebrate a life well -led and a life so greatly missed.
Patricia is survived by her husband, Marcus B. Holland; her canine companion, Leah; stepdaughters, Kendall and Courtney Holland; father, Patrick Jacobi and his wife, Dale; brothers, John Jacobi and his wife, Allison, and Thomas Jacobi and his wife, Shanell; sister, Kerry Jacobi and her husband, Noel Hall; nephew, Shaun Jacobi; nieces, Danielle Edwards, and Trista Jacobi; and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.
A gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday October 11, 2025, between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm, at the Holland home at 139 Livingston Drive, Goldsboro, NC 27530.
Although flowers are welcomed, the family suggests contributions in Patti’s memory be made to the Wayne County Animal Services, 1600 Clingman Street, Goldsboro, NC 27533.
