Obituary For Paul John Jenkins

Paul John Jenkins passed away December 28, 2020 at the age of 90 at Conemaugh Miners Medical Center due to complication from COVID-19. He was born July 29, 1930 in Patton, the son of Daniel and Kathleen (Rieg) Jenkins. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sisters Connie Jenkins, Elizabeth “Betty” Vezza and brother Evan Jenkins. He is survived by his loving wife Eleanor (Brodosky) Jenkins, whom he married May 7, 1955; children Daniel (Karen Selby), Petersburg, VA; Ronald (Karen Wano), Patton; Cindy (William Taylor), Patton; Paula (Dan Sammarco), Patton; grandchildren Daniel; Elizabeth (Matt); Hannah; Lydia (Hunter); Lindsy; Brett (Morgan) and Lea; step grandchildren Shawn; Shannon; great grandchild Sawyer Rose; step great grandchildren Marco, Mara and Shawn; brothers and sisters, Donna Maloney, OH; Mary (Pat) McHugh, NY; John (Donna) Jenkins, VA; Jim (Donna) Jenkins, VA and numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws. Paul started out his employment at the Patton Clay Works for 15 years, then went to work as a coal miner for 22 years at various coal mines in the area. When the mines closed Paul worked as a bartender at Chest Creek Café in Patton, where he enjoyed meeting and talking to new people. He was a member of Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Patton and lifetime member of the Patton Eagles. He loved golfing, but most of all he loved going to various sporting events to watch his grandchildren. One of Paul’s favorite past times was sitting on his porch waiting to enjoy a conversation with anyone passing by. We would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Matt Dvorchak and his kind staff at his Hastings office and a special thank you to his wonderful caregivers Carol, Judy and Joyce.
