  "The Stonewall Club was my favorite of all the many gay bars and gay clubs for two simple reasons:  one, it had dancing and I loved to dance, dance, dance; and two, I could walk there!"

After an absence of many years, since she moved from New York to Florida a quarter-of-a-century ago in 1981, Jackie Barrett reactivated with the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A.") years ago.  In an exclusive grant arrangement with the S.V.A. in April of 2005, Jackie contracted her expansive and valuable collection of vintage photographs, costume wardrobe, autographed photos, documents, memorabilia, artwork, diaries, mementos, etc. from the now historic Stonewall Era (1966 to 1969).  At the monthly membership meeting of the S.V.A. in October of 2005, Jackie was nominated for Ambassadress by Stonewall veterans Storme DeLarverie, Ruthybird Campbell and Rose Giordano.  At the annual S.V.A. Election Meeting in November of 2005, Jackie was unanimously elected to the literally international position of S.V.A. Ambassadress.  As of  2006 and beyond, Jackie Barrett actively represented the S.V.A. and spoke with S.V.A. officials at least thrice weekly.  She has a regular schedule of conversing and strategizing with S.V.A. director Willson Henderson.  In March of 2006, the "In The Life" national television show pre-interviewed Jackie for an upcoming feature centered on several individual Stonewall veterans in the S.V.A.  They interviewed interesting Jackie spanning two telephone hours from New York to Florida.  The fascinating segment subsequently appeared on P.B.S. television.  

As the SVA's Ambassadress, one of the national Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("G.L.B.T.") organizations that Jackie is seeking the renewed sponsorship is the support of the Human Rights Campaign ("HRC") for G.L.B.T. rights and concerns.  The S.V.A. receives the latest updates on the HRC from Jackie regularly.  Jackie reaches out to other G.L.B.T. organizations to inform them of the legendary existence and the continued importance of the S.V.A.  Miss Barrett is dedicated and busy with her dozens of "babies" -- her beloved cats and those of the neighborhood and beyond.

Miss Jackie Bee was re-elected unanimously once again as the esteemed -- and sometimes steamed -- S.V.A. Ambassadress at the annual S.V.A. election meeting in late December 2007.  Among Jackie's special assignments are as the representative, negotiator and facilitator with national and statewide Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("G.L.B.T.") organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign ("HRC").  The HRC is a G.L.B.T. civil rights organization primarily informing on G.L.B.T. issues and concerns and, therefore, influencing political groups, public officials and candidates for public office.

 Request:  If anyone has any other information on Jackie W. Barrett, please contact the S.V.A. via U.S. mail, telephone, e-mail and/or fax!  The few relatives that Jackie had were estranged from her previous or do not have the same working phone numbers.  Her sister Elsa I. Woodard, also a supporter of the S.V.A., passed away a couple of years prior.  We know Jackie has living relatives on the West Coast.  No relative or friend contacted the S.V.A. with any 411 about Jackie's death in Miami, Florida.  Jackie lived alone, except for all of her cats and a ferret.

 Miss Jackie Bee", riddled with multiple cancers for years,
bade 'bye-bye-bye' to all of her surviving fans, having loooong

Jackie Bee passed in South Miami Beach, Florida, USA, where
she relocated from Greenwich Village, NYC, 30 years prior!
Jackie is survived by all of her beloved Stonewall veterans
