Mary Elizabeth Jenkins

What can I possibly say about my grandmother that hasn't been said already..... It's so hard to wrap up 85 years of life in a paragraph but I'll try. My grandmother believed what she believed period! She'd always say "If you do it right the first time, you won't have to do it again". She was right 🙂 She spoke her mind and she meant what she said. She loved the Lord with all her heart and she did not doubt him. She would say If He don't do it, I know He can! She enjoyed cooking (and eating) Years ago she used to make this cobbler that I still remember this day. She has 4 children, and recently a grandson, who have all gone on ahead of her. I wonder if they're all together now. She loved her family and each of us loved her. I know she did her best and I believe Great Is Her Reward! I'm going to miss you girl... I can see her smiling right now. Rest well grandma. You deserve it. Tracy

To my Dear Sweet Mother,

Mom, I could not have asked for a better mother. You will always be the special treasures hidden in my heart. That jewel will always shine-sparkle in my heart.

You were my best friend. Without you part of my life seems so empty.

I been with you all my life, but now I must let you, it hurts my heart. Nevertheless I love you and you will be missed so much.

Love your daughter Louella Wheeler

I'm glad my mom was able to find a church in Winter Haven called Church of God and True Holiness. It always reminded her of a similar church in Louisiana that she never had a chance to attend.

Mary Jenkins was a praying woman. She prayed for me that God would deliver me and I believe he did.

I thank God that I shared my situation with her. I believe because of her prayers God stepped in, and helped me and solved the problem.

She was always depending on Jesus to bring her out, because of her I believed that God did just that.

She prayed for others and herself. No matter if the problem was them or her.

My mother was a giving person. She was always about others. She would say, if a person needs a slice of bread, and you have it, give it to them.

She also enjoyed doing things for herself. She did not want help if she was able to help herself. However, if people insisted on helping her, she was kind and humble enough to accept the help.

She always spoke her mind. She was strict. We had good times and bad times. But she always depended on Jesus.

Mary Jenkins, mom we had a long run, in one you managed to break my heart and patch it back up at the same time. You broke my heart by dying but patched with wisdom. It's my turn, you passed the baton so I could finish the race. I pray I keep the faith as well as you did.

Love you ❤️ Mary Jenkins, mother
