Friends and family reflect on life and spirit of Meghan Sennott
A memorial service to take place May 25 in Minneapolis will honor the learned and adventurous life of Meghan Sennott, whose friends and family said she integrated learning and gaining new experiences “seamlessly” in her life before she died at the age of 20 on May 14, 2006, in a bus crash in Peru. Although she was only a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences at Boston University, Sennott had already traveled to many parts of the world, including to Oxford, England, where she met her boyfriend, Richard Gebbie. Although he was also traveling with Sennott on the bus that crashed in Peru, Gebbie survived and is recovering from his injuries.
