Vicky Jenkins, 66

November 22, 2021

Vicky Lynne Jenkins (Gemmill), 66, of Lititz, passed away Monday, November 22, 2021, at Lancaster General Hospital. She was born in York, PA to Faye (Kohr) Gemmill and the late Donald Gemmill and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina before moving to Lancaster, PA. She was married to the late Tom Jenkins for 41 years prior to his passing in November of 2013.

Vicky always possessed a strong work ethic, obtaining her Associate’s Degree as a paralegal while holding various jobs and raising her family. These included crossing guard at her daughters’ school, several positions at Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill in Lititz, and delivery driver for Bickel’s potato chips. This led to purchasing her own Tastykake Distribution Route, which she happily ran throughout Columbia making friends along the way, prior to retiring after almost 20 years.

Vicky enjoyed reading, cooking, and spending time with friends and family. Her love for the beach began with summers spent at Brigantine, NJ, and more recently trips to Ocean City, MD, with her grandchildren. She also spent summers waterskiing with her family on her parents’ boat. Vicky enjoyed animals, especially caring for her own horse, Playboy, as a teenager.

In addition to her late and beloved husband Tom, Vicky’s family includes two daughters, Heather, wife of Jeremy Kroeck of Lititz, and Jessica Molinero of Landisville; six grandchildren, Jordan and Derek Kroeck, Naya, Kai, Soren, and Trey Molinero; her brother Craig Gemmill, and her mother, Faye (Kohr) Gemmill; in addition to many more loved ones on her maternal side. She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Gemmill and aunt, June (Kohr) Powers.

Friends, family, and anyone who wishes to celebrate Vicky’s life is invited to stop by the American Legion Post #34, 1388 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, PA 17601 on Friday, December 10, 2021, between 6 and 8 pm. Memorial Contributions may be made to the American Legion.

I had the pleasure of taking care of Vicky for almost 2yrs. She was a sparkler 🧨! We seemed to hit it off right from the start. She was like a sister I never had. I worked at the former C.A.Herr Hardware Store in Columbia so I remembered her right away from when she would deliver Tastykakes. I loved hearing all of her stories from her horse playboy, family, trips to the beach & good times with her late husband (Tom). She will always have a special place in my heart 💜. She enjoyed listening to me sing. I won’t be able to make her celebration of life party as I will be singing in the concert with The Gettysburg Choral Society which she wanted to come to. I know she’ll be there in spirit! And, she’ll have the best seat in the house. I’m dedicating this performance to her. I am so grateful to have met her & her wonderful family and the privilege to take care of her.

Tom and Vic were good honest, hardworking people with a great sense of humor. They loved their family and especially their two daughters. Our families shared many good times together and I will always remember them fondly. May they Rest In Peace.

It was my honor to get to know Vicky during her time she delivered pickled potato chips to Weis markets , I will always cherish our conversations we would have as she made her delivery.
