R. Stuart Jenkins ’43

Body

Stu died at his home in Radnor, Pa., Feb. 18, 1998, following a long illness. He was 76.

A Pittsburgh native, he was a graduate of Upper Darby H.S. During WWII, Stu served with the Army for three years in the ETO. He was discharged as a first lieutenant and holder of the Bronze Star.

Earning his JD degree in 1949 from Penn Law School, Stu began a career at the bar that spanned over four decades: senior partner of the firm Schroeder, Jenkins and Raymond in Media, Pa., through 1991; then continuing in practice with his son, David, and sister, Sarah, in the firm Jenkins, Jenkins Jenkins.

Stu was an active member of the St. John's Presbyterian Church in Devon, Pa., for 30 years.

Survivors include his wife, Rachel W. Funk Jenkins; two daughters, Mary Stuart and Ann Taylor Rizzo; a son, David S.T.; and a sister, Sarah. To the entire family, we offer our most heartfelt condolences.
