March 24, 1934 - February 12, 2016
Jefferson Award winner Omer Jenkins, 81, of College Station, passed away on Friday, February 12, 2016. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle passed away in Bryan at the Hospice Brazos Valley Inpatient Care Facility.
Omer was born to Conley Harell Jenkins and Bessie Rushing Jenkins on March 24, 1934 in Dallas, Texas. Educated at Mesquite High School, University of North Texas, and Texas A&M, Omer taught Statistics at Texas A&M for over thirty years. He enjoyed traveling, gardening and just visiting with friends. Giving back to the community and making a difference through volunteering were very important to him. He was active in the Kiwanis club, Brazos Beautiful, and Mending Hearts to name just a few. The Jefferson Award was presented in 2011 to honor him for his years of community service.
Omer was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Edwin Jenkins and Edwin's wife Margie, and sister-in-law Peggy Jenkins.
He is survived by his wife of 54 years Jonne Jenkins; his sons Jeff and wife Laurel Jenkins, of Saginaw, Michigan, Mike Jenkins, of Memphis, TN; his grandchildren Karli, Mallory, Jordyn, Brandon, and Campbell; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law Tom and wife Pat Locke; his brothers Conley and wife Myrna Jenkins, Floyd and wife Pattie Jenkins; his sister DeLoryes and husband Tom Probst. He will be greatly missed by his nieces and nephews as well as countless friends.
A memorial service is planned for a later date. Cremation services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral Home and Crematory. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of Brazos Valley, 502 West 26th Street, Bryan, Texas 77803, in memory of Omer Carson Jenkins, PhD. The family would like to express special thanks to Elizabeth Berigan, MD and Tom Weber, MD. We also thank Comfort Keepers and Hospice Brazos Valley, for their attention to every need delivered with loving care.
