Lillian U. Jenkins Memorial Tribute

Past President Curtis M. Shane - February 1986

" To those people who have known her, they will understand what I write about, she is that special type of person. She was the first and up until 1985, the only woman President of the CBD. She served as Editor and then Historian up until a few years ago. Even though she is retired and lives a long way from the Division, she always attends the meetings to brighten everyone's days. I speak of our friend Lillian Jenkins. At the banquet and here, it gives me great pride to announce that the award will be named: "The Lillian Jenkins Special Achievement Award". The first award will be given out at the Fall meeting in 1987.

Editor Mary Jane Sweeney - July 1986

" I am stopping to take a moment to wish Lillian Jenkins a fond get well wish and a prayer from the Chesapeake Bay Division.

Lillian, God be with you every moment,
Bringing comfort to your heart,
And the cheer and strength that only
His own blessing can impart!

Special prayers are sent your way
With many wishes too.
That God will make you well and strong
And feeling good as new.
Lillian has been ill for some time, and took a set back after the Spring CBD meeting. She is at her home in Florida. "

Lillian U. Jenkins passed away on Easter Sunday of 1987.
