It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Kathleen Jenkins.
Kathy waged a valiant battle with cancer up until the bitter end. Selfless, strong, and classy she left a legacy of caring for all those around her. Her door was always open to anyone that needed her whether it was a seat at the Thanksgiving table or at one of her infamous Sunday BBQ's where a glass of wine and an open ear were always on the menu.
While she leaves a void that will be felt by many, Kath would want everyone to carry on. Her advice was simple; make lasting memories, "take lots of pics", and love one another.
She is survived by her loving husband, Frederick,; her daughter, Keri (son-in-law Kevin); son, Craig; son, Keith (daughter-in-law Kristin); granddaughter, London and siblings, Patrick Fox & Christine Kelly and baby girl, Paris
In lieu of flowers, donations in Kathleen's memory can be made to a Colon Cancer Foundation or COPD Foundation of your choice.
The family will be present on Wednesday, September 11th from 5:00 – 8:00 PM at Ruggiero & Sons, Inc. Funeral Home & Cremation Services – 732 Yonkers Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10704. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, September 12th at 10:00 AM at St. Paul the Apostle Church – 602 McLean Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10705. Following the Mass, Kathleen will be laid to rest at Gate of Heaven Cemetery – 10 W. Stevens Avenue, Hawthorne, NY 10532.
