Russell A. Jenkins, 59, of Broadway passed away on Tuesday October 25, 2022, peacefully at his home, surrounded by his daughter Tosha and son-in-law Andrew Higgs.

Mr. Jenkins was born February 21, 1963, in Keyser, WV to the late Lyle Brooks, Sr. and Lydia Lambert Jenkins.  He eventually moved with his family to the Broadway area. Mr. Jenkins then ended up moving to Winchester, VA where he was raised by his uncle Jim and wife Jo.  Upon returning to the Broadway area, he attended Broadway High School.  He hauled chickens for many years and helped his dad in his spare time cut and haul wood.  Mr. Jenkins became an over the road driver for 30 plus years.  He became the owner of the laundromat in 2011 and kept it open and running until 2018, when his health declined.
