Word has been received that Cynthia Jennett-Clark of Hinesburg, Vt. -- originally of Amagansett -- died at home of a heart attack on May 12. She was 61 and had had heart disease for many years.
She was born at Southampton Hospital on Oct. 25, 1958, one of three daughters of Lorraine Fourney Jennett and Carl Ross Jennett Jr., both of whom died before her. She grew up in Amagansett, attended the Amagansett School, and graduated in 1977 from East Hampton High School, where she was a cheerleader. Ms. Jennett-Clark went on to earn an associate in liberal arts degree at Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia.
In 1987 she married William H. Clark of Plymouth, N.H., whom she had met at college. They had a daughter, Alison Clark of Plymouth, who survives, as does Mr. Clark. The marriage ended in divorce in 2003.
In Plymouth, she had a 35-year career at Citizens Bank and also was a member of the Pemigewasset Choral Society, singing as a soprano. Ms. Jennett-Clark moved to Vermont in 2014.
Her family said that she enjoyed skiing and coming home to Amagansett to see her family and swim in the ocean.
In addition to her daughter, her sisters, Susan Jennett-Rogoski of East Hampton and Nancy Jennett-Eldi of Ridge, survive. One set of the sisters' grandparents were Marie Wescott Jennett of Amagansett and Carl Ross Jennett Sr., who was the U.S. Coast Guard boatswain's mate at the Amagansett Life-Saving Station when a German U-boat was beached off Atlantic Avenue Beach in June 1942.
Ms. Jennett-Clark was cremated. Because of the restrictions necessitated by Covid-19, a graveside memorial service is being planned for next summer at Oak Grove Cemetery in Amagansett.
Memorial donations have been suggested to the Pemigewasset Choral Society, P.O. Box 115, Plymouth, N.H. 03264.
