Tamara Jenkins Obituary
1964 ~ 2025
Maysville, Missouri…Tamara "Tami" Doneen Jenkins, age 61, passed away on December 28, 2025. She was born November 13, 1964, in Oregon, Illinois, the beloved daughter of Eugene and Sharyn (Porter) Snapp.
On April 22, 1983, Tami married the love of her life, Timmy Jenkins in St. Joseph, Missouri. Together they shared 42 wonderful years of marriage. From this union came their cherished son, Ryan, who was one of Tami's greatest joys.
Tami spent many years working at Quaker Oats alongside her father, a time she treasured deeply. Above all else, she loved her family with her whole heart, especially her granddaughter, who brought her endless pride and happiness. Tami also had a deep compassion for animals of all kinds, a reflection of her gentle and caring spirit.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Sharyn Snapp, and her daughter-in-law, Sarah A. Jenkins.
Tami will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Timmy; her son, Ryan (Amanda) Jenkins; father and mother in law, Nelson and Linda Jenkins; sister, Kevi Buhrman; brother and sister in laws, Lonnie and Matt Jenkins, Tammy (Eugene) Wightman; her precious granddaughter, Olivia Grace Jenkins; and many other dear family members and friends who were blessed to know her.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made in Tami's honor to the ASPCA, reflecting her lifelong love for animals.

Tami you have no idea how much I miss you. A part of my heart passed away with you. I have so many memories of the crazy things we did as teenagers. Someday I know I'll see you again but until then I'll keep you in my thoughts and in my heart.
