*** REGIONAL NEWS FROM TUESDAY ***
[Ed. note: Jenkins graduated from Yelm High School in 1967 and had been employed by and/or supported Yelm’s schools ever since. She was the first employee to receive a Yelm Community Schools 40-year service pin, and also received every accolade this city has to offer. Jenkins retired in 2014. I got to collaborate with her on several community projects of mutual interest in the 1990s. Her contributions to the fabric of this community were immense. Blessings to her family. R.I.P. Obituary here
Graveside services will be Saturday, Oct. 23, 12n, Yelm Cemetery.
