Alice F. Young Jenkins, daughter of the late Oscar Samuel Young and Mattie Philpott Young, was born July 2, 1932. Alice was the youngest of seven children and departed this earthly life on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at Camden Health & Rehabilitation, Greensboro, NC.

Alice was reared in the Stovall Community of Oxford, North Carolina and graduated from Mary Potter Academy, Oxford, North Carolina. At an early age, Alice accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and joined First Baptist Church of Stovall. She remained a loyal member until she relocated to Mt.

Upon her retirement in 2005, Alice relocated to Greensboro, North Carolina.

Words can't express your loss of your mother to me. I'll remember the the good times we had at UIBC Senior Ministry playing dominos, she was one of the best players. Also, she loved my pound cakes and trying to hide them from Toney was a challenge. I do send my condolences to the family. Love Linda
