Gayle Jenkins

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, Gayle Jenkins, after a lengthy battle with ill health. Gayle was born in Prince Albert, SK on June 25, 1950 and was the 9th child of 12, to her parents, Norm and Edna Jenkins. At the age of 14, her mother relocated her and the younger siblings to 100 Mile House, BC. At the age of 19, she became a single parent to a beautiful little girl, Michelle. She worked hard to raise and provide for her daughter. Gayle’s life was not an easy one as she struggled through many hardships.
