She was preceded in death by her childhood sweetheart of 59 years, George Ray Jenkins, (Army 1st Sergeant, retired). When they married, unbeknownst to Janell, George had orders for Korea in his pocket. As a military family you moved frequently, adapted to new surroundings, sometimes in a new county, were flexible in what was expected and spent time away from family and friends…….. and Janell embraced it all.
Surviving family include children; Reggie Jenkins (Becky) of Warner Robbins, Georgia, Dennis Jenkins (Lori) of Bossier City, Louisiana, Debbie Jenkins (Beth) of Birmingham, Alabama, Barbara Cassario (Tim) of Shreveport, Louisiana, brother, Bob Huffmaster (Martha) of Prosper, Texas and sister-in-law, LaRue Jenkins of Palmer, Texas. She had a host of grand and great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Janell loved to visit, cook, sew, fish, play bingo and the slots. She was loved without end and will be missed every day. We love you to the moon and back mom!
