David and Phyllis Jenkins
Liberty Township was the setting for a celebration honoring the couple, which was organized by their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and family friends. Guests came from Virginia, Arizona, Maryland and across northeast Ohio to honor the couple.
David Jenkins and the former Phyllis Shuler were united in matrimony on Sept. 6, 1958, at Epworth Methodist Church in Youngstown. The Rev. Dr. W. Dwight Heaston officiated.
David was an appraiser for First Federal of Youngstown and First Federal of Warren. He continued his career with First Federal of Warren, eventually retiring after more than 30 years of service at which time he managed the First Place Community Foundation. Mr. Jenkins retired from the Foundation in 2014.
Phyllis was a homemaker and raised their four children: David Jr. (Terri), Dwight (Phylecia), Karen (Bill) Tomlinson and Jennifer (Michael) Smerick. They also have four grandchildren.
Both David and Phyllis have been active in the community, serving on various boards and participating in group activities, and are now retired and enjoying life.
