Robert Glen Jenkins

Robert Glen Jenkins, 74, of the Valley Point Community, went to glory on the morning of March 25, 2023, following a complicated battle with vascular dementia. His victory was won, by the finished work of the Lord Jesus and His sufficient grace. May God be praised for HIS goodness!

Robert was born July 29, 1948, the son of Harold Eugene Jenkins, Sr. & Betty Livengood Jenkins.

He was known by many names, Bobby Glen, B.G., Pappy, & Vila. He grew up in Lenox where his family owned and operated Jenkins Trucking & Sons, Inc., and East View Farms. He dedicated his life to providing for his family. He had a great sense of humor, and loved to pick and tease those he loved. When necessary, his discipline was quick and just. Anyone who worked with him had probably witnessed his temper and stubbornness along with his generosity and kind heart.

He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Sandra Kay Sypolt Jenkins, his two sons & their wives, Jason Glenn (Melissa) & Jared (Janna); his beloved grandchildren, Colson Robert, Kelsey Morgan, Callen Thomas & Grace Sophia.

Also surviving is his sister Loraine Sue Gribble (Kermit), his brothers, Harold Eugene Jenkins, Jr., (Joan) & Jack Jenkins (Vickie); his aunts, Jeanie Miller, Judy Bolyard (John), Ella Livengood, Wilda Jenkins & numerous nieces, nephews & cousins.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his brother, Johnny Wayne Jenkins his uncles Donald ‘Donnie’ Miller, Robert Lee Jenkins, Ralph Glen (Wanda) Livengood & Stanley Livengood.

His family will honor his wishes and hold all public services in the evening, “so no one has to miss work!” His gathering will be held at the Fred Jenkins Funeral Home in Morgantown on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 from 3 PM until 6 PM with services to follow. Private
interment will be held at the Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Valley Point.
