Sylvia Jenkins

Passed on: November 10th, 2018

It is with great sadness we mourn the passing of Sylvia Deloris Faye (Nee Ouellette) Jenkins, late of Prince Albert, on November 10th 2018 at the Victoria Hospital, surrounded by family, at the age of 79 years. She was a mother to daughters: Gale Shannon, Brenda Jenkins, Deborah (Barry Gallivan) Jewitt, Wendy (Dwayne) Vandale, Lou (Kevin) Lovely, Anita (Ed) Orr, April Jenkins (Darren St. Germain), Debbie (Dennis) Beauchesne, Faye (Wayne) Chezick and son: Ken (Karen) Jenkins. She is survived by brothers: Larry Ouellette, Harold Dirk Ouellette, Dennis Ouellette and sisters: Dawn Christina Cochran and Danielle Ouellette. She is predeceased by her beloved husband of 35 years: Jack (John) Jenkins; parents: Leslie (Nee Foster) Ouellette and Harold Ouellette; brothers: George Ouellette and Arthur Ouellette; and son: Jerry Jenkins. Sylvia was known to so many in her life as MOM, Grandma, Great Grandma, Old Bird and many other nicknames, each one with special meaning. Sylvia was a kind, gentle and selfless person to all. She always welcomed anyone into her home and coffee was always on. Sylvia was very rich with love. She always had a meal or care package for those in need around her, whether they were family, friends or strangers. Her passions were her family, knitting and cooking for others. Sylvia and Jack had people come from all over Canada for some of their sweaters, socks, jackets, dish cloths, mittens and gloves. Sylvia was always at the kitchen table; balls of yarn and patterns all around her while cooking something in the background. The kitchen table was her place from dawn to dusk and she would rarely leave her chair, except to go sell her wares at the local flee markets or to play a book at bingo with Jack. The kitchen was always busy with some creation of food, whether it be her famous home-made pizza buns, soups, or cinnamon buns. Of course, everyone partook of her culinary skills around the holidays and the house would swell to overcapacity, but no one would leave hungry or unhappy. Mom and Dad’s place was a gathering point for us all. Sylvia welcomed many people over the years into our family; she showed them stability and what a family can be. She was a mother to all who entered and never turned anyone aside. She always offered a kind word, story or a shoulder to shed your troubles from life’s tribulations. Sylvia understood the importance of putting family first and was a sounding board for everyone who entered her home. She was truly a wonderful, caring and loving mother to all of us She touched many lives and will be missed greatly. With the loss of Jack in 2017, Mom was lost. She never truly recovered without Dad and the life seemed to deflate from her as time went on. We slowly saw mom withdraw. We can take comfort in the fact that Mom is now at rest in Dad’s loving arms and they are now together forever. A funeral service will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, November 24, 2018 at Mackenzie Chapel, 130 9th St. East, Prince Albert, SK. Arrangements in care of MacKenzie Chapel & Crematorium. Brian and Bev Stobbs, Renee Phaneuf - Funeral Directors.   HYPERLIN "http://www.mackenziechapel.ca/" www.MacKenzieChapel.ca 306.763.8488.
