Jacquelyn Marie Bekech Barry, age 50, of Easton,CT passed away at Yale New Haven Hospital after a brief, but valiant battle with cancer. She was the devoted wife and best friend to her husband Richard Barry, of Easton and loving mother to Shana and Kyle Barry. Jackie was predeceased by her parents, William and Emily Madore Bekech. She was a graduate of Warren Harding High School and for many years, was employed as a foreperson at Acme United, Bridgeport,CT. Most recently, Jackie was a paraprofessional with the Easton School System, at Samuel Staples Elementary School. Her quick wit and loving spirit will be missed by all those whom she touched in her life. Jackie was known for her positive attitude and joy for life. Her boundless energy and generous spirit was always evident in her volunteer work throughout her children's years in the Easton School System.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Jackie's family. Jackie & I were high school friends and shared many classes together and fun times at Harding. I will always remember her smile and great outlook on life. I was fortunate to see her at Bertucci's Rest. about 2 yrs. ago with her faimly and was so happy that she had remembered me. I think of that occasion often and will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers.

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time. As a child growing up in Bridgeport, I have many memories of Jackie and her mom and dad. We spent many hours playing together, along with my brother and sister, in our backyards, and we all walked to Thomas Hooker School together. Cook was always fun to be with and was always such a happy person. I will always remember those fond memories.

My prayers are with you in this time of deep sadness. Jackie will remain a role model for me. When I was a teacher at Helen Keller Middle School I chose to involve my students in Community Service. But as with any project, one always needs help. Jackie was one person I could always count on whenever help was needed. What a wonderful role model she was for her children and the community of Easton. Jackie’s smile, her warm hug, her helping hands… are memories that will continue to live in my heart.
