Susan Jenks Obituary
BARTONVILLE – Susan E. Jenks, 59, of Bartonville passed away at 4:24 AM on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at her residence. She was born on October 19, 1960 in Waco, TX to Leverett and Virginia (O'Neal) Burchfield.
Surviving are four children, Robert (Emily) Hanson of San Diego, CA, Jessica Jenks of Los Angeles, CA, William A. Jenks IV of Hanna City, IL, and Jennifer Jenks of Bartonville, IL; three grandchildren, Austin, Olive, and Ace Hanson; one brother, Butch Burchfield of San Antonio, TX; two sisters, Ginger Goll and Liz Martinez both of San Antonio, TX; and her dog, Honeybear.
Susan was preceded in death by her parents.
Susan was a flooring specialist at Home Depot, but her real specialty was being a caretaker. She loved being a mom to her children, to her pets, and to anyone who walked into her house. She was also an avid gardener. So I guess you could say she was a mom to her plants as well.
Susan was known for being a very giving person, and in her final act of generosity she has chosen to be donated to the Anatomical Gift Association of IL. Endsley-Sedgwick Funeral Home in Bartonville is in charge of arrangements. Memorials can be made to the American Cancer Society. To make online condolences you may go to www.sedgwickfuneralhomes.com

Susan was what seemed to be a second mother to me from kindergarten to eight grade. She was always very loving and had a strong caring connection with us kids. Its been about 2 years since I last seen her at my moms house and she was so nice and sweet, it was refreshing to see an old friend. I will miss her. My heart and love goes out to her family

Susan helped my husband and I on many occasions at Home Depot. She was a great person to know and was great at her job! We always knew we could count on her to guide us in the right direction with anything we needed.
