Mary Alice was an avid sewer and loved baking. She was known to have enjoyed her time being on the lake boating or fishing. She loved to watch movies and TV and could make anyone laugh. Her family was her pride and joy and she loved spending time with them making precious memories.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Joe Cuthrell.

Left to cherish her precious memories are her beloved husband of 59 love filled years, Charles R. Jenkins; four children, Amanda Barnhardt (Tony), Beverly Ragin (Jim), Chuck Jenkins, Ashley Staley (Benny), and one sister, Frankie Hall (Joe). She also leaves behind three beloved grandchildren, Shelby, Sydney, and Jordyn, and one precious great granddaughter Anabell, as well as a special niece, Debbie Watson.
