She was a graduate of Lane High School and an employee of Rudy's Dry Cleaners for 30 years. Mary aka Mer-Mer or Ms. Jenkins was and always will be the "Rock" of the family. What she said was definitely what she meant and we all knew that she wasn't going to say it twice. Although she was the "Rock" of the family, everyone knew that her love was the softest place on earth. The best way to describe her was fun, loving, caring and full of energy. She loved to dance and get the party started as she would say, "ORE IDA."

Stinnie, Angela Stinnie Barnes, and Helen M. Stinnie all of Charlottesville; a brother, Richard Stinnie, Sr.; three sisters, Daisy M. Stinnie, Darcella M.
