Obituary For Carolyn Jenkins
Carolyn Jenkins, 82, of Smoaks, South Carolina, peacefully transitioned on April 9, 2026. She was born on June 22, 1943, and lived a life rooted in love, family, and simple joys that left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.
Carolyn was a devoted wife, sharing 65 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Robert Lee Jenkins, Sr. A union built on love, commitment and enduring partnership. She was also a loving mother to Robert Lee Jenkins, Jr., Alvis Farq-Jenkins and Jennifer Jenkins.
She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Jasmine Jenkins, Cyrus McBride, Tariq Waters, Se’maj McGraw, LaShawn Jenkins, Bri’Ajanae Farq, Quynea Farq, Khyen Simpson, Janiayah Farq and Albany Simpson. Her legacy continues through her cherished great-grandchildren.
Carolyn worked as a key punch operator for PENNDOT, where she was known as “the light of the room”.
She found her greatest joy in spending time with her family. Whether she was cooking meals that brought everyone together, shopping with her daughter, or tending to her flowers. Carolyn created warmth and love in every space she touched. She had a special fondness for her collection of Sunday hats, each one reflecting her grace, style and spirit.
Carolyn Jenkins will be remembered for her kindness, her nurturing heart and the love she poured into her family. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
“Her love was the foundation of her family, and her legacy will continue to bloom for generations to come.”
Her life will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 16, 2026 in the Sanctuary of Baptist Fellowship Church, 3985 N. 2nd Street, Harrisburg with viewing and visitation from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and burial in Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
