He worked 20 years at Slipknot Belting in Kingsport, TN then retired from AFG Greenland after 10 years.  Norm found joy in fishing, working in his garden, mowing his yard, whittling and spending time with his family.  He had a heart of gold and never met a stranger.  He will be greatly missed.

Norm was preceded in death by his parents, R.C. and Elsie Jenkins;  sister, Charmazelle Mason;  brothers, Robert Jenkins and Charles “Hap” Jenkins.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Shirley Jenkins; his children, Billy (Rhonda) Jenkins, Lynn (Vickie) Jenkins, Rhonda Gail (Dale) Kendrick, and Donna (Jeff) Austin;  his grandchildren, Julie Jenkins, Miranda Jenkins (Greg Benge), Amanda (Tyler) Fletcher, James Jenkins (Chandra Winegar), Jacob Austin and Parker Keller;  sisters, Pat Dinsmore (Sam), Libby Reece and Irene Baxter;  brother, Albert “Tiny” Jenkins.

Visitation will be from 5 to 7 PM Friday, September 24, 2021 at Scott County Funeral Home.  Services will follow at 7:00 PM with Pastor Larry Tolley officiating.  Music will be provided by Tim Thacker.
