Margaret Davis Sennott of Simsbury, CT passed on Thursday, January 13 in Hartford, CT. She was born on March 13, 1946, in Pensacola, FL to the late Clyde Adrian Quina Davis and Richard Warfield Davis, Sr. She was raised in Mobile, AL, and later lived in Tolland, CT, West Hartford, CT, and Medfield, MA, before moving to Simsbury in 1992.

She was a beloved, generous, and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be dearly missed by: her husband, Stephen J. Sennott; son Paul (Erin) Sennott of Medford, MA, daughter, Elizabeth (Mateusz Tarczynski) Sennott of Brooklyn, NY; her grandchildren Emerson and Elliott Sennott of Medford, MA, and Marek Tarczynski of Brooklyn, NY; siblings, James (Judy) Davis, of Houston, TX, Fred (Bonnie) Davis of Fort Walton Beach, FL, and Laura (Rob) Ellis of Centreville, VA; nieces and nephews, Patrick, Timothy, and Jeffrey Davis, Lauren Rice, Robert Ellis, Richie Davis, and Dede Marshall; as well as other family members and friends.

In 1973, she married Stephen J. Sennott, whom she met while living in Tolland, CT, in a ceremony held in Mobile, AL. She taught high school English at Tolland High School and then worked as a librarian at West Hartford Public Library before devoting herself full time to the education and care of her children.

She had a deep appreciation for literature, the arts, and education, and she instilled the same in her eternally grateful children.
