Nathaniel Jenkins was born September 3, 1939 to the late Carrie Frazier-Jenkins and late James Jenkins in Chester, Pennsylvania. Nathaniel attended the Chester Public Schools and graduated from Chester High School. He was reared in a Christian home, was trained to love and live right, and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior at an early age. Growing up Nathaniel always had a passion for gardening, which he inherited from his father. As a result of his passion, Nathaniel began landscaping projects at Thomas M.

He enrolled in course work at Widener University where he earned the credential of Master Urban Gardener. Nathaniel was employed by BP Oil working as a pipe fitter for over 20 years. He also served as the President of Thomas M. Thomas’ Senior Usher Board for many years. Nathaniel is preceded in death by his older brother Henry Jenkins.

He also leaves two grandchildren Justin Phillip Jenkins and Kareem Durell Jenkins, and one great-granddaughter, Ariyonna Jenkins. He is also survived by a sister, Marie Carson, and a brother, Matthew Jenkins as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Although his earthly presence is no longer with us, his spirit will live on through his wife, children, other family members, and friends.
