Pat Jenkins was born on June 19, 1927 in New Bloomfield, MO. She passed on February 23, 2017 in Springfield, MO and is now ready to go fishing with R.C. She is survived by children and families, Ron Jenkins and Phyllis of Madisonville, KY and children, Heather, Charley and Rachel, Becky and Bob Bergjans of Reuter, MO and son Marc, Robert Jenkins of Rogersville and children, Robbie, Caris, Sarah and Cristi, Rick and Pam Jenkins of Branson and children Curtis, Adam and Chelsea, Robin and Steve Green of Clever and children, Kara and Steven. Pat had 29 great-grandchildren and 1 great great-grandson.
As you can see family was very important to Pat as she and R.C. were strong roots for a very large family tree. Pat was always there for everyone, whether you needed an answer, green thumb advice, who to wager on to win the World Series, an ice cream sundae or a handmade Christmas gift. She loved flowers and gardening, sewing, quilting and painting. She spent much of her time hauling R.C. around from one campground to another with their large group of friends. She worked at Security Bank for many years and was a member of Victor Baptist Church in Branson, MO.
She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 13 years ago which lead to many changes in our lives. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorial donations may be made to Southwest Missouri Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association of Nanny’s Ninjas to the attention of Madasyn Clark.
Visitation for Pat will be on Monday, February 27, 2017 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in Greenlawn Funeral Home South with the service following at 1:00 p.m. Burial will follow in Missouri Veterans Cemetery at 2:00 p.m.
