1 Corinthians 2:9, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”

Lois “Maxine” Jenkins, 87, of Elizabeth, WV passed away peacefully in her sleep April I, 2020 at the home of her oldest daughter, Vicki and her husband Pat Henry, in Toronto, Ohio after a rapid decline in health.

Her faith was strong throughout her life. She had no fear of the time she would transition to God’s prepared place for her as stated in King James Version of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 2:9 above.

Maxine was born in Cromwell (Seminole County) Oklahoma June 1, 1932 to the late Alva E “Chic” Jenkins and Lois V (Sapp) Jenkins
