Obituary of Thelma Jean Jenkins
Always in the hearts of her loving family, Thelma Jean (Cameron) Jenkins gained her perfect peace at the age of 87 years on January 7, 2025, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown. Wife and life partner for 66 years of Sterling Jenkins.
Thelma was born May 9, 1937 in Kensington, PEI and was raised with her brother and sister by their parents, William and Lulu (Somers) Cameron. Mother Lulu was taken from them much too early when Thelma was six years old. She was raised in her Aunt Eletha’s family in Summerside, PEI.
Sister of Betty (Don, deceased) Jenkins, late Ingham (Eleanor, deceased) Cameron and Lorraine (David) Silliphant. Mother of Dan (Grace) Jenkins, Carolyn (Larry) Tremere and Andrea Jenkins. Predeceased by angel daughter Patricia Lee.
Grammy and Gigi to Darby (Bobby) McCormick, sons Wyatt and Hudson; Madison (Shauna) Jenkins, son Sterling; Adam (Katie) Tremere; Jessica (Brandon) Cubitt, daughters Palmer and Charlie; Jordan (Spencer) Blacquiere; Samantha (Daniel) Ndanshau, daughter Shasta; Bailey (Kyle) Crane, sons Hayden and Hollis. She was Aunt Thelma to numerous nieces and nephews.
Thelma trained and was teaching by age sixteen in Mount Albion, PEI before her work path changed to psychiatric nursing at Hillsborough Hospital. Throughout her long nursing career Thelma was devoted to her patients and improving their limited lives. After getting married in 1958, she lived in Hazelbrook, PEI where she and her husband Sterling raised their family and turned The Butter Factory House into a loving family home.
She loved and cherished her family, neighbours and friends. Thelma had a strong faith, a quick tongue, a sharp mind and loved hugs. Church activities, knitting, crocheting and homemade bread were always pivotal in her home.
Resting at Hillsboro Funeral Home from where the funeral will be held Friday, January 10, 2025 at 2:00 pm. No visiting hours by family request. Interment in Hazelbrook Baptist Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made online to Hazelbrook Baptist Cemetery.
Her family wishes to thank staff of Whisperwood Villa, Charlottetown and the doctors and nurses of Unit 1 and 8 of QEH for their excellent care.
