Dear Classmates -
Jamie Vicki Lee from the Class of 1980 notified us last night regarding the loss of another one of our classmates: "Belinda Tibbs (Jenkins)" -- Jamie's message stated:
"With profound sadness, this is to inform the McKinley class of 1979 of the passing of classmate Belinda Tibbs Jenkins. Though Belinda and I didn't know each other at Tech, we were in-laws who became friends (her husband and my ex are cousins). We always got together during the family reunions in Rocky Mount, NC and the Super Bowl parties. She just had such a down to earth presence that could always put a smile on your face.
I am posting the link for her obituary from the Washington Post that appears in today's paper. Please keep her family in your prayers. Godspeed Belinda....with deepest sympathy from your fellow inlaw/Techite Class of 1980.  😪"
Belinda's obituary indicates that the services are today. I wish we had received notification sooner so that some of us could have attended her service:
BELINDA JOY JENKINS
Entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, May 29, 2018. She is survived by her husband, Joe Jenkins; mother, Verlette R. Tibbs; two daughters, Kawaiba Tamanika Murphy and Kaisha Tanay Tibbs; son, K-Quan Tavon Tibbs; three grandchildren, Aria Gross, Deyani Hunter and Jehcari Carter; two sisters, Antoinette Cheeks and Alvonia Draughn; brother, Paul H. Tibbs and a host of other relatives and friends. Mrs. Jenkins may be viewed at STEWART FUNERAL HOME, 4001 Benning Rd., NE on Wednesday, June 6 from 10 a.m. until service at 11 a.m. Interment Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
