Jacqueline "Jaki" Harris , 40, passed away suddenly at Hartford Hospital on September 26, 2011. Born Jacqueline Francis Greenaway in Johnstone, Scotland on October 20 1970, she emigrated to America in 1989. Since her acceptance into TWU Local 764 in 1994, Jaki worked on numerous Broadway shows and many national Broadway tours. Whether as an Asst. Wardrobe Supervisor or a "Star Dresser", her bright smile and quick wit made her countless friends in the Broadway community and across the country. Included in those, to her credit, is Dame Judi Dench and Jaki's dear friend, the late Eartha Kitt. The youngest of six children, Jaki is survived by sisters Linda Soutar and Joanna Greenaway, brothers Frank and Hugh Greenaway, and many nieces and nephews that she loved "heaps and heaps". Jaki had been a resident of New Haven since 2005 where she lived with her fiancée Andrew Bynum. Friends may visit to say goodbye and share remembrances on October 7th from 11 to 2pm at BEECHER & BENNETT, 2300 Whitney Ave, Hamden. Visitors are asked to bring photographs of Jaki, if possible, to be sent home with her. She will be returning to Inverness, Scotland to rest with her mother Patricia, sister Margaret, and nephew Robert.
