Patsy Ann Jenkins, 84, of Graham, North Carolina and formerly of Columbia, passed away peacefully at her residence on May 8, 2026. Born Patsy Ann Garrison on February 25, 1942 in Columbia, she lived a full and devoted life filled with love, dedication, and quiet joy.
Patsy was a woman of many gifts and passions. After a meaningful career spanning 25 years, she retired from Walmart in Campbellsville, where she was known as a reliable and kindhearted employee. Her days were often filled with the simple pleasures she cherished deeply—assembling jigsaw puzzles, tackling crossword puzzles and word searches, and watching the timeless episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. She formerly attended Milltown Church.
Patsy is survived by her children, Steve Jenkins (Tammy) of Somerset, Kevin Jenkins (Shelly) of Columbia and Margo Pennington (Gary) of Graham, NC; her grandchildren, Elizabeth Jenkins of Bowling Green, Olivia Jenkins and Ashtin Jessie (Kent), both of Columbia; step grandchildren, Donavan, Briana and Kierra Pennington of NC; great-grandchildren, Evelyn Abrell and Heidi Jessie; and step-great-grandchildren, Mia Pennington, Kendall Vestal and Keegan Vestal. She was also survived by a special caregiver, Sarah Enoch.
Patsy was preceded in death by her parents, Roy Allen and Rosa Lillian Thomas Garrison. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Samuel Garrison, Eva Baker, and Lewis Garrison.
