Obituary: Jacquelyn Jeanne (Beckett) Waggoner, 76
Jacquelyn "Jackie" Waggoner died Sept. 1, 2004, in a Denver hospital with her children at her side. She had struggled with several painful conditions.
Jackie was born to Joseph and Esther Roleke on April 2, 1928, in Bethany, Mo. She graduated from Colorado Women's College, and in 1948, married Lewis Raymond Beckett. They made Evergreen their home in a house they built on Forest Hill.
Lewis worked at the Bureau of Reclamation along with local resident Franklin J. Waggoner. He later worked at Martin Marietta with local resident Jack Wilson, who remains a treasured friend. Following Lew's untimely death in 1962, Jackie moved her son, daughter and mother to Solvang, Calif. In 1977, she married Frank Waggoner. He brought her back to Evergreen to live in an area she truly loved.
Jackie will be remembered by countless lifelong friends the world over. She is survived by her sister, Elaine Marcelli, who recently moved from Italy to Florida; her daughter, Deborah Jo Beckett, and her sons, Scott and Eric Andrews; her son, James Brent Beckett, his wife, Sharon, and Samantha, an 8-year-old angel. Additionally Jackie is survived by nieces Sally (Beckett) Hayatt, Nancy Walton and nephew David Beckett, brother-in-law Mel D. Beckett and his wife, Shirley.
Jackie will be interred with Lew at Fort Logan National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contribute to a worthy cause of your choice. Jackie will be dearly missed.

My father, David Allard, was born 31 October 1947 in Denver. He was adopted when he was only a few days old. We have never known anything about his biological family. Just last night we received his previously-sealed birth certificate. Jacquelyn Jeanne Roleke gave birth to him at the Booth Memorial Hospital and named him Jeffrie. His father is listed as ‘not known.’ We are extremely keen to learn the name of his father as well, and make contact with any of his living biological relatives. A bit about us – my parents married in 1966 and my brother, Darren, was born in 1967. I was born in 1969. My mother, Pamela Putnam Allard, passed away in 1995. My brother lives in Switzerland, and I live in Brookline, MA. I have 3 children: 14 yr old identical boys, Alex and Ben, and my daughter, Madeleine, will turn 18 next month. I certainly do not wish to be invasive in any way, but would be grateful for any contact you are willing to have, and any information you are willing to share. My name is Jennifer Allard-O’Brien. Telephone number is 617 599 7329. email is allardjen1969@gmail.com
My father turns 70 this October. It would be such a wonderful gift to make some contact. His only blood relatives he knows are my brother, me, and my children.
Warmest regards,
Jennifer
