Jacquelyn Snow Hinds, known by friends as Jackie, died peacefully at home with her family on May 4, 2019.  Jacquelyn lived in Little Compton for 20 years until 2016 when she moved back to Cortlandt Manor, New York, to live with her daughter Hilary.  Before Little Compton she summered in Westport Point for many years. 

Jacquelyn was an active member of the Westport Art Group and the Little Compton Garden Club, serving as presidents of both, and a long running Little Compton book club.  At the age of 90 she volunteered at the Brownell Library, shelving books.  Her greatest joy was a daily walk on Briggs Beach or to the Town Landing.

Jacquelyn had many friends as well as relatives in Little Compton from her younger years in the Oranges and Montclair, New Jersey, and from Smith College where she graduated in 1945.

She was a correspondent for Life Magazine in Hollywood and later became a special education teacher. She was a lifelong activist for good government, racial justice and women's equality. 

She was predeceased by her husband Gelston, who died at the Bristol Veterans Home in 2013. She leaves three children, Gelston, Jr. (Tony) of Greensboro, Vt., Hilary Kitasei of Cortlandt Manor, NY, and Martha Jacobsen of Milton, Mass. She has six surviving grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters, the last one born two days before Jacquelyn died.
