Vernon R. Jenkins, "Ray", of Williamsburg, passed away peacefully on September 6, 
2015 at the age of 91.

A native of Richmond, VA, Mr. Jenkins retired from the U.S. Navy after 31 years of 
service. Mr. Jenkins was a devoted member of the Gideons - Williamsburg (Camp).

He was a former member of the Great Bridge Baptist Church and taught there for 22 
years. For the past seven years he was a member of Walnut Hills Baptist Church in 
Williamsburg.

Mr. Jenkins was preceded in death by his wife of 41 years, Gladys H. Jenkins; his 
parents Thomas F. and Mabel E. Jenkins; his five sisters, Edna Barber, Joyce Koon, 
Ruby McDonough, Patricia Pridgen, and Betty-Jo Jenkins; and five brothers, 
Durward, Thomas, Bruce, John, and Lewis Jenkins.

Ray is survived by his two daughters, Regenia Regambal and Betty-Jo Taylor (Tim); 
his son, Charles T. Jenkins; his eight grandchildren, Jamie, Sharon, Michael, 
Douglas, Angela, Jennifer, Jessica, Matthew, Maxwell; and seven great-
grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Robert Jenkins (Marian) and his 
two sisters, Mabel Snellings and Phyllis Harmon.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 10, at Walnut Hills 
Baptist Church, 1014 Jamestown Rd in Williamsburg, at 11:00am, with a reception to 
follow in the church fellowship hall. Online condolences may be shared with the 
family at www.nelsencares.com.

In lieu of flowers, Mr. Jenkins has requested that donations be made to the 
Gideons International for Bibles in Memory of Vernon R. Jenkins.

There are two very "special" gentlemen that the family wishes to acknowledge for 
their constant and consistent loving friendship that ran very deep - Mr. Ernie 
Courier and Mr. Pete Fowler.

The family of Vernon R. Jenkins wishes to especially express their heartfelt 
thanks to Gary and Nancylee Leighton and sincere thanks to the staff of Brookdale/ 
Chambrel of Williamsburg, Dr. Philip Walter, Dr. John Mincks, Genitiva Hospice, 
Nena and the staff of Tender Hands Personal Care Services, Sharon West, Vanessa 
Byrd Dabney and Ann Byrd. Your compassion and giving of outstanding care have far 
surpassed what we could have asked for and we are most grateful.
