Paula Wesley Jenkins

Knowing Paula for over 5 decades as our Jenkins-clan got together was such a blessing. In 1998, Paula enhanced my adjustments to Kansas City from Seattle in her own special way of celebrating so many positive things about the community. My young children's visits to Kansas City were always highlighted with their times spent with Paula. Family reunions in Colorado would not have been complete without her cheer and balance in conversation. Her world-traveled insight into cultures,...

Paula will always be in our memories. God our Father, take her by the hand.

Paula was the lynch pin of our 23 year old book club. Month after month we met and discussed books. We were doing more than that and didn't realize it. We were casting movies from the books we read, planning holiday events, sharing how we felt. We are all stunned and at a loss to express what Paula truly meant to us. She was the center for all of us. We weep. We are sad for your loss

Dear Jenkins family, Such sad news of a wonderful life. Paula was a dear friend to my sister, Joan, and part of the tapestry of our lives. Remembering camping trips out West with Susan in Steamboat Spring and Glacier National Park....She will be missed.

Paula was not just a beloved cousin; she was an amazing family networker and nexus who was always thinking of others. I will deeply miss her breezy cheerfulness, thoughtfulness, and perennial graciousness.

Dear Jenkins family - heartfelt condolences. Paula was such a presence at the KC librarys Literature in Translation book group. She had taken on the role of organizing the group in the past few years - letting us know when it was time to choose the next few months worth of books, setting up e-mail reminders about meeting dates, coming to the meetings with prepared background information, and sharing stories about her travels to many of the countries in which the novels we read were set. The...

Oh my dear sweet Paula. I cannot believe that you are gone from us. There are so many things,that I took for granted, that you gave. Yours was always the first Christmas card,with your unique penmanship, it was the smallest card I would receive,but always one of my favorites. Very classy and it would signal to me..Oh Christmas season is here,I got Paula's card. You would always organize our "old friends" lunches. Our last one last Fall at the Plaza 111. My last memory of you was walking...

I worked with Paula at Clark Printing in the early 70s. A friendship quickly developed. She taught me how to needlepoint, and we shared an interest in theater and art. We lost touch but I have fond memories of her. My prayers go out to the family for she will be missed.
