Marian will be joined in eternity with her loving husband of a remarkable 60 years, John W. Jenkinson, Sr. and her son, Jimmie Jenkinson.
She is survived by her children: John W. Jenkinson, Jr. (Maricelis Muñiz-Jenkinson), Kimmie Jenkinson, Randal R. Jenkinson (Sharon), along with ten grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren.
In the hearts of those who knew her best, Marian will forever be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her infectious laughter that brightened even the darkest days, her sophisticated, put-together look as she sparkled from head to toe, and her selflessness that touched countless lives.
