Mrs. Rosie Lee Mingo Jenkins was called home at the age of 87 on Wednesday, March 9, 2016, at St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington.

Mrs. Jenkins loved her work and she did not like “half stepping” — that was her saying she wanted things done right, and if not, leave it alone. She was affectionately known by her grandchildren and friends as “Mama Rosie.”

Robinson of New Orleans, and Eliza Mae Jefferson of Mary Ester, Fla.; a brother, Peter M. Bridges of St Paul, Minn.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was preceded in death by eight brothers and seven sisters.
