"Jady" Jacquelyn Denise Harrington

Jacquelyn Denise Harrington (Jady) of BENNINGTON, NE, 59, passed away unexpectedly November 8, 2022 at University Nebraska Medical Center. Jady was born May 7, 1963, in Camp Lejeune, NC, the daughter of Marine MGySgt Joseph D Harrington and the late, Emma Grace Harrington.

Jady graduated from White Oak High School, Class of 1981 and had 12 years of perfect attendance. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1985, and was a Certified Hazardous Material Manager (CHMM).

Jady had a very successful career that spanned over 35 years in the Chemistry field. She was an Environmental Scientist at AECOM Consulting at the time of her passing.  

In addition to her mother, she was predeceased by her sister, Jennifer Diane Harrington. Surviving in addition to her father are her brothers Joseph D Harrington III and his wife Regina (Middletown, NJ), James D Harrington and his wife Stacey (Mt. Pleasant, SC), John D Harrington and his wife Heather (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL), and her sister Judy Dishman and her husband Darren (Bennington, NE), and seven nieces and nephews: Katie (Matt), Janna (Mike), Joey, Jamie, Emmie, Jenny, and Kirt and two grandnephews Chase and Grayson, and her beloved dog Elley Mae.

A service of remembrance will be held Monday 11/14/2022 from 5 PM to 7 PM at Roeder Mortuaries, 2727 N 108th Street, Omaha, NE 68164.  A Celebration of Life will also be held later this year in her hometown of Jacksonville, NC. 

Jady will be greatly missed and so fondly remembered. She was very committed to her career and to her family. Jady was especially kind to her nieces and nephews. She made the world a much better place by both her unending “environmental” testing of the earth and her loving kind demeanor she showed to each and every person she encountered. Jady was first to want to get on the dance floor and always ready to lend an ear. She will be gravely missed by all her family.
