It is with heavy hearts that East Granby Parks and Recreation and Youth Servies share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our Program Coordinator Becky Hayes.
Becky was one of a kind. She was wildly creative, deeply caring, a technology guru who had a passion for working with young people, especially her preschool friends. Her attention to detail, organization, and genuine care for everything she touched and those encountered is unmatched.
Becky had a way of making coming to work more fun. Whether it was a 60 second dance party, a love of using our popcorn machine, or coming up with one of her wonderfully creative program ideas she brought laughter and energy in all she did.
Her dedication and passion for the East Granby Farms Playscape was especially meaningful. Becky poured her heart into the project, and her creativity, persistence, and belief in what it could be make the playscape a reality for our community.
Most of all, Becky was kind-hearted and caring. She cared deeply about children, family, her coworkers and the community she served. Her impact reaches far beyond the programs she helped rate – it lives on in the memories, smiles, and experiences she gave to so many.
We are incredibly grateful that we have had the privilege of working alongside Becky. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever a part of the East Granby Parks and Recreation & Youth Servies family.
We send our deepest condolences and love to Mike, Ella, Choe and Piper as well as her extended family and friends.
