About Me

Patricia Lennox Jenkins serves as the Historian/Event Organizer for LePageville Memorial Cemetery Corporation. Her involvement began when the LePageville site was cleared to make way for a softball field in 1979, the Pine Garden Community activist, Ms. Patricia Jenkins, learned about the cemetery and promised former resident Mr. Alexander Milton that she would protect the cemetery. Over a period of years, Ms. Jenkins 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.
