Margot B. Mencoff

February 2, 2026, radiating the same warmth and grace that defined her life. She was a resident of Rhode Island for 71 years. Most recently she had been a resident of Tockwotton on the Waterfront in East Providence.

Margot was the devoted and loving wife of Harvey C. Mencoff, who predeceased her by 28 years. Together they shared 43 years of joyful and adoring marriage, living life to its fullest and never forgetting how to laugh.

An accomplished equestrienne in her youth, she retained a love for animals throughout her life. She was a longstanding member of the Providence County Kennel Club and was dedicated to the advancement of purebred dogs and the promotion of responsible dog ownership. She believed deeply in the power of dogs to enhance and brighten lives and took great joy in her volunteer work with her dogs in schools, hospitals and nursing homes.

Margot was a devoted and talented gardener, and together with Harvey, enjoyed a decades long passion for competitive bridge. She was a member of Temple Emanu-El and Ledgemont Country Club.

Margot is survived by her sons Samuel (Ann) of Chicago, IL and Gregory (Ruth) of Boston, MA, her grandchildren Emily Willard (Robert) of Boulder, CO, Samuel (Lauren) of Greenwich, CT, and George (Erin) of Newton Centre, MA, and seven great-grandchildren Harvey, Reese, Maya, Margot, Maddie, Felix, and Nathaniel. Margot’s life was filled with much joy, laughter, and friendship. Hers was a life fully and beautifully lived.
