Remembering Jim Jenks

James Lee Jenks (1952 – 2019)

A gifted athlete in his youth, a talented earth mover, and a life-long resident of Lyme, Jimmy Jenks was a devoted friend and family man who left his mark on Lyme—whether by walking with a friend through grief or working every road in town. Jimmy was known for his hearty laugh, big love, and generous spirit that sometimes masked the pain in his life. Jimmy died on March 20, 2019. He will be sorely missed.

In the May 20, 2019 issue of the Valley News, Jim Kenyon wrote a beautiful piece about Jim’s life, working with Patty Jenks, his wife and CCL’s Director. Click on this link to read the full article.

CommunityCare of Lyme is delighted to honor Jim’s caring and generous spirit with the creation of The CCL Jenks Fund to help neighbors in need.
