Eugenia S. Senatro "Jean", 81, of Newington, formerly of Wethersfield, beloved wife of Clement J. Senatro "Sonny", passed away on April 9, 2022, with her husband by her side as he has always been, and surrounded by her family. Born in Hartford, she was the daughter of the late Stalios and Helen Karangekis.  Jean was a graduate of Hartford Public High School and went to work for the Royal Insurance Company in 1958. A dedicated and hard-working employee and co-worker, Jean served in that role until her well-deserved retirement in 1995.

Jean is survived by her loving husband, known to all as Sonny. Jean and Sonny were married in 1965, having celebrated 56 years of marriage this past fall. A match made in heaven, the two were each other's true reason for being and were inseparable. Jean is also survived by her sister Kaliope (Kal) Lesinski, her brother-in-law Chester (Chet) Lesinski and her nieces and nephews, to whom she was a second mother: Brian Lesinski, his wife Lisa, and their children Chase, Rachel and Jillian; Lisa Kosicki, her husband Robert, and their children Marissa (Tony) and Daniel; and Mark S. Karangekis, his wife Amy, and their children Nicholas, Mitchell, Jason and Grace.

Jean was pre-deceased by her brother, John S. Karangekis and her sister-in-law, Nancy K. Karangekis.

Jean had a warm smile, a big hug and infectious laugh that made family and friends feel welcomed and loved at Sunday dinners and on holidays. Jean loved spending time with her nieces and nephews, playing with the toys that she would bring them, enjoyed trips to the "beach" to spend days with the Senatro family and many trips to Cape Cod over the years to walk on the beach and collect shells with her mother before her passing.

The family would like to thank the aides, nurses and doctors at VITAS Hospice, Hartford Health Care - Independence at Home and Cedar Mountain Commons for the care and compassion provided to Jean.
