JENKINS
ROSS NUTTALL JENKINS, 96, passed away peacefully at his home in River Heights on May 21, 2006.
Ross was born in Newton on Feb. 11, 1910, a son of Moroni Benson Jenkins and Alice Nuttall Jenkins. He was educated in the Cache County School District. Ross spent his early years in Newton helping his father with the family farm. After high school, he married his lifelong sweetheart, Lorus Hancey Jenkins, on June 12, 1934, in Pocatello, Idaho, and their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple.
Ross and Lorus had two children, Jean Jenkins of River Heights and Arthur (Art) Jenkins of Smithfield. Ross had four grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
Ross made his home in Newton and was employed for many years by the Union Pacific Railroad. He worked a short time with his brother, Evan, in Cliente, Nev., and a brother-in-law, Orlo Hancey, in Astoria, Ore. In 1965, Ross purchased a home in River Heights. He then worked as a painter and decorator in Cache Valley and in maintenance at E.A. Miller's Beef in Hyrum.
Ross was blessed with excellent health. During his 96-plus years, he spent only one night in a hospital and he never took any medication, except for some pain medication at times.
Ross was preceded in death by his wife, Lorus; his parents, brothers, Stanley (infant), Evan M. Jenkins and Arnold Colin Jenkins; a sister, Peral Jenkins Thomas; a granddaughter, Trudy Johnson; and a grandson, Brent D. Jenkins.
He is survived by his two children; a brother, Mark N. Jenkins of Sunset, Utah; two grandsons, David Jenkins and Michael Jenkins and their families, who doted on Grandpa Ross; and many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 26, at the Newton Cemetery.
