KEEDY, Ada Sargeant Jackson
Ada Sargeant Jackson Keedy passed away Thursday (June 7, 2001) after a short illness at 86. Born in New Bedford to Abraham and Lillian Jackson, Ms. Jackson graduated from New Bedford High School and Pembroke College (Brown University) in 1936.

After her second career as homemaker, Ms. Jackson received her masters degree in library science and was librarian in Everett, Boston, and Weymouth public schools. There then followed an exciting period in this couple's lives, in fleeing the cruel New England winters, she wintered in various sundry islands, e.g., St. Kitts, St. Croix, with her husband, Allen, who held part-time ministerial appointments. In Nevis, for example, they had no running water and carried their water by hand from a well. At this time Ms. Jackson also started a counseling program for adolescent girls. During this time the couple summered on Cape Cod in the village of Craigville, where their cottage, built in 1965, was only the second dwelling on upper Lake Elizabeth Drive. In 1974 they built a New England colonial in Walpole, MA. Then in 1991, they moved to Hartmeadow, a retirement community sponsored by the Flagg Road United Church of Christ in West Hartford. In the summer 2000, Ms. Keedy and her husband moved to Avery Heights, where she was much revered by the Noble House staff. She is survived her three children, Martha K.
