Dear colleagues,
I too am saddened to hear of Jacinta's passing.  I did not get to know her well but I spent a memorable Thanksgiving in the company of her mom thanks to the hospitality of Lucia Harrison.  Jacinta was in the hospital recovering from a severe asthma attack. It was of such serious nature that her life was at stake. I always felt that Jacinta sidestepped death that time; perhaps she needed to finish a few more things before she left.

I am sorry to inform you that one of our own, Jacinta McKoy, performing
and media arts coordinator, passed away unexpectedly last night.  This
comes as a great shock to our community, as we lost one of our most
beloved and dedicated colleagues.  Jacinta brought unflappable good
humor and tremendous grace to her work.  We will dearly miss her
heartfelt commitment to hospitality, indeed she set high standards for
the Com Building.
