( January 20, 1930 - April 10, 2023 )
Marie Eurey Jenkins passed from this life into eternal life on Monday, April 10, 2023. Marie was born in Lincolnton, NC on January 20, 1930, the daughter of James F. and Blanche C. Eurey. She grew up in rural Lincoln County during the Great Depression era, an era she often described to her children.

Jenkins (Sharon), David J. Jenkins, Jean Jenkins-McCrary (Jeff) and by her grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Marie was a long-time member of Calvary Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School and Bible School, sang in the church choir, and coordinated the church’s Bloodmobile activities for many years. Marie also sang with the Golden Voices group and especially enjoyed the group’s Christmas musical events. She gave generously of herself as a longtime visitor to various Lincolnton area assisted living centers, where she sang and played her autoharp to entertain the residents there.
A funeral service in memory of Marie will be held on Saturday, April 15, at 1:00 pm at Calvary Baptist Church, 493 Calvary Church Road, Lincolnton, NC with Rev. Bruce Brooks officiating. The family will receive friends at the church from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on April 15 prior to the service.
The family would like to express heartfelt appreciation to the staff at The Addison of Lincolnton for the care and comfort they provided Marie.
