Obituary: Jacqueline Ann Pask, 1959 - 2026

Jacqueline Ann Pask passed away on Monday, March 23, 2026. She was predeceased by her ex-husband, Michael Christiano, and by her parents, Marshall and Patricia (Nancy) Pask.

Jackie was born on October 11, 1959, at United Hospital in Port Chester, New York. She grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut, where she lived most of her life, and graduated from New Canaan High School in 1978.

Jackie was known for her strong opinions and work ethic. She worked in the architectural industry in sales, beginning with wall and acoustical panels and later with Acme Sign Company, where she excelled. She was deeply devoted to her work and the many projects she was involved in.

Jackie loved gardening, cooking, and entertaining. Her home at Christmas was impeccably decorated and smelled delicious. Family and friends always left full with plenty of leftovers. She also volunteered as a Girl Scout leader for her daughter’s troop for nine years.

Jacqueline is survived by her daughter, Collette Christiano; her twin sister, Jennifer Pask; and her brother, Marshall Pask, along with many cousins.

A service will be held at St. Aloysius Church, 21 Cherry St, New Canaan, CT 06840, on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. There will be a reception to follow at the Roger Sherman Inn.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Yale New Haven Transplant Center in her memory.

The Pask family is being compassionately cared for by the staff at Hoyt Funeral Home, 199 Main Street New Canaan CT 06840.
