Ruth Ann Jenkins

HARRINGTON — Ruth Ann Jenkins passed away on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017, at the Compassionate Care Hospice-St. Frances Hospital in Wilmington. She was born to the late, Robert N. and Mary Ruth Melvin.

Mrs. Jenkins worked as a door greeter for the Milford Wal-Mart, and enjoyed what she did.  Prior to Wal-Mart, she worked as a bartender at the Oaks, American Legion CKRT Post 7, and Stones all of Harrington.

Mrs. Jenkins enjoyed BBQ’s with her close friends and family. She was definitely one of a kind, known for her feisty stubborn nature who told you like it was. She was very ornery, but had a loving side and cared for her family, especially her daughter, Sandra. She will be sadly missed.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Jenkins was preceded in death by a daughter, Donna Jenkins.
