Dorothy M. Sargent Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Dorothy (Dot) M. Sargent of Rocky Hill, CT, 99, beloved wife of the late Raymond A. Sargent, passed away peacefully early Thursday morning, January 27, 2022 at Jefferson House, with her daughter and son by her side. Dorothy was born in Hartford, CT, on March 24, 1922, the third child of William and Dorothy (White) Landry. She grew up in Hartford and graduated from Hartford Public High School. Dorothy had fond memories as a child traveling to Bathurst, N.B., Canada in the summer with her family to visit her northern cousins on the family farm. She married her true love, Raymond A. Sargent July 8, 1944 and resided in West Hartford, eventually moving to Rocky Hill after their children were born. As it worked out, she was fortunate to live next door to her sister and best friend, Marion and her family, along with many other Hartford friends who moved to the neighborhood as well. Dorothy worked at Rocky Hill High School as a secretary in the 1960's and later went on to work for the Dutch Point Credit Union, retiring as assistant manager. She and Ray enjoyed many adventures with a special gang of friends golfing, cross-county skiing, camping and touring on mopeds. But most of all, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Dorothy will be remembered as a warm and gentle woman who possessed a quiet inner strength which provided much comfort to all those she loved. Besides her husband, Dorothy was predeceased by her sister Marion Humphrey, her brother Jesuit Brother Kenneth Landry, her sister-in-law Barbara Brezinski, and her dear niece Jean (Humphrey) Catino. Dorothy is survived by her daughter Gail Hardacker and her husband Donald of Rocky Hill, her son Edward Sargent and his wife Marijayne of Glastonbury, her eight grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. She also leaves a caring nephew Thomas Humphrey, along with other close relatives and friends. Her family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Jefferson House for the four years of compassionate care they provided for Dorothy. Services will be private at the convenience of her family.
