About Board Member

Patricia Jenkins is a former Pine Gardens resident and activist where her involvement began when the LePageville site was cleared to make way for a softball field in 1979, and was told about the cemetery and promised former resident Mr. Alexander Milton that she would protect the cemetery. Over a period of years, she searched the historical records to prove the existence of the cemetery and collaborated with LePageville families to identify the individuals who were buried there. In 2003, their efforts culminated with the Engelhard Corporation transferring 3.85 acres of land to the LePageville Memorial Cemetery Corporation. This site became known as LePageville Memorial Cemetery. Ms. Jenkins currently serves a Historian for the LePageville Memorial Cemetery Corporation.
