Linda passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side on March 1, 2016 due to having ovarian cancer for 3 years. Linda was born on April 16th, 1952 at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise Idaho. Her parents are Zenith W. Scott and Thelma J. Scott. Her education consisted of six years at Cole Elementary, three years at Fairmont Jr. High School, and three years at Capital High School. In her senior year she had enough credits so she only had to go half days. The rest of the day she worked at the Bank of
Idaho at the corner of Fairview and Cole Rd. After a few months there was a nice young man named Les Jenkins, who started doing his banking where she worked. After time, he finally got the courage to ask her on a date. He worked across the street from the bank at Buttery’s Foods Grocery store in the produce department. Linda graduated from Capital High in 1970 and on June 19, 1971 Linda and Les were married at the Newman Center across from the Boise Jr. College. In 1975 they had their first son, Jeremy Scott Jenkins, and in 1979 they completed their family when their second son, Aaron Matthew Jenkins was born. Linda was a devoted, loving wife, and stay at home Mom taking care of her two sons until they were in high school and thereafter. Linda’s jobs over the years were with Bob Rice Ford, Joanne’s Fabrics, and the last job was with Blue Print Specialties. She enjoyed and dearly loved her Arabian mare (Sheba). The last
few years she enjoyed meeting with her girlfriends from work for lunch or dinner (Chris, Sharon, Judy, Ora Gay and Maggie). Linda and Les shared many special friendships over the years that will be dearly remembered, along with their many trips to Cannon Beach Oregon, and to their cabin in Garden Valley ID. Linda had many hobbies: knitting, crocheting, and some quilting. She enjoyed working out in her back yard, taking a long swim in the pool, and playing with her Jack Russell Terrier (Meeka). She was a great collector, and had a beautiful collection of Santa Clause Figurines.
