July 1, 1939  –  April 20, 2025

Furrs Community-June Carolyn Kirkpatrick Jenkins realized the promises of her strong faith in God as she transformed from this life to her life in eternity on Easter Sunday Morning, April 20, 2025 from NMMC-Hospice unit. June was born in Pontotoc County on July 1, 1939, the youngest of three girls born to the late Willie Banks Kirkpatrick and Edna Cates Kirkpatrick. June lived most of her life in Lee and Pontotoc Counties where she was a wonderful citizen, a dignified, well read and independent lady whose gifts were meekness, kindness and gentleness. Her early working life was in the Garment industry at Reed’s Mfg. and Hunter-Sadler where she was an master seamstress. The last couple decades of her life were spent in various managerial positions at Captain D’s Restaurant where she was respected and well known. A lover of all genres of music, June played the piano earlier in her life winning state recognition. She was a collector of what-nots, items of interest to her and enjoyed gardening in days of health. A loving wife and mother, she lived her life to the fullest making each day count with gratitude for her earthly pilgrimage.
