Mrs. Margaret Sue (Tucker) Kennell, age 92, passed away on Thursday, August 11, 2016. She was born November 3, 1923, in Birmingham, Alabama, to Armstead O’Neal and Hattie Sue Tucker. Mrs. Kennell was a resident of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. She was Catholic by faith and a member of St. Rita Catholic Church.
She attended Auburn University, receiving her Bachelor’s Degree. She worked as a Medical Technologist for over 40 years at various hospitals and clinics throughout the United States.

Margaret/Mom/Mimi was warm, caring, loving, generous – always a rock in the lives of so many of her family. She loved music, reading, and being surrounded by those whom she loved. At Seagrove Beach she created a home that became the center of warm family gatherings for many years. She possessed a gentle smile, ready laugh, and a sharp wit that never diminished.

Mrs. Kennell is survived by her children Karen Hewitt and husband Jim, Tom Kennell and wife Patricia, Andy Kennell and wife Kathy, Dan Kennell and wife Margie, and Patrick Kennell and wife Kirsten.
