It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of one of our beloved founders. Susie Jenkins, wife of Mike and friend to all, passed peacefully November 3rd, surrounded by her family. Mike and Susie shared a wonderful love for each other, for their children and for all of us.
Susie’s joy and enthusiasm working with the people of San José Villanueva, along with her love of listening to music, dancing, and her beautiful singing will be missed by many. With her keen artistic eye and attention to detail, Susie worked with the school children and volunteers to paint two large murals outside the school walls. She also led our education initiatives, including the scholarship program. These actions of solidarity will serve as lasting reminders of someone whose love and compassion for others was always an inspiration to us. We are blessed that she was in our lives.
In talks with the volunteers who came to El Salvador, Susie would say, "We all need to be citizens of the world."
As Board members and Epilogos staff, we are proud to help continue the work that Mike and Susie started in San José Villanueva and will move forward with our friend and mentor Susie in our hearts.
Our thoughts are with her family – her husband Mike, daughter Jennifer, and son Michael and his family.
We will share further details.
Your generous contribution will provide support for the people of San José Villanueva, El Salvador.
Thank you!
