Agnes "Aggie" Margaretta Madsen Jenkins Obituary (1917

Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully of natural causes on September 23, 2015. Aggie was born September 15, 1917 to Theodore and Anna Madsen in Provo, Utah. She graduated from Provo High School. After graduating she worked various jobs in her father’s cleaning plant including driving a delivery truck while her bothers served in the military during World War II. After the war ended, Aggie met Clifford Jenkins and they were married on October 12, 1946. Together they had two sons, Clifford Lawrence (Larry) and Edwin Neal (Neal). Aggie was a very independent lady and lived on her own for 31 years after her husband passed away in 1984. She had a great love for the LDS Church where she served in various positions throughout her life. Her two sons, her grandchildren and her many nieces and nephews were her greatest joy. She loved to crochet and loved teaching her granddaughters her beautiful techniques. Anyone who came in contact with Aggie left with one of her many crocheted items. All her many family members and friends have enjoyed her beautiful afghans. At 96, when it became difficult for her to live alone in the home she loved, she moved to the assisted living facility, Courtyard at Jamestown, where the many staff members became her extended family. Aggie was preceded in death by her husband, Clifford Leroy Jenkins, (7) brothers and (3) sisters. She is survived by her children, Clifford Lawrence (Bea) and Edwin Neal (Elaine); grandchildren, Amanda Uchtman (Patrick), Kari Barker (Jonathan), Erik Jenkins (Katherine), Jana Johnson(Cody) and Layne Jenkins (Joanna); (7) great-grandchildren; (6) step-grandchildren; (13) step great-grandchildren and many beloved nieces and nephews. A special thanks to the staff at Courtyard at Jamestown for their wonderful friendship and care over the past 2 years. Also, a very special thank you to her niece, Velma Madsen, for her constant compassion and care for Aggie.
