It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Sandra Ann Jenkins, of Henrico Co., VA. She passed away on November 6, 2023 at the age of 65, after a sudden illness.

Born on September 26, 1958 to Roy and Ester Allison in Ogden, UT, she spent her childhood in Lompoc, CA, before moving to Alamogordo, NM. During her time there, she met her soulmate, Charles Jenkins, in 1976 at a Sonic drive-in restaurant. Excited to start their lives together, the two were married March 9, 1976. Sandra and Charles finally settled in Henrico Co., VA where they were overjoyed to welcome their only child, Samantha Beyerlein (Ryan).

Sandra is a woman of many talents; a dedicated bowler, a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, as well as an accomplished tailor. Although she loved many things in life, her greatest joy was being a grandmother to Ellamae Beyerlein.

In addition to her beloved husband of almost 50 years, her daughter and granddaughter, she is survived by her brother, Ted Allison (Kelly); as well as many friends whom will all miss her dearly.

A celebration of Sandra’s life will take place 11 a.m., Saturday, November 18, 2023 at Bliley’s, 8510 Staples Mill Road, in Richmond. Anyone whose lives Sandra touched is welcome to attend.
