JENKINS, Margaret
Entered into eternal rest on the afternoon of January 23, 2002, Margaret Quante Jenkins, M.D., widow of Louie Boyd Jenkins, M.D., residence, Kiawah Island, S.C. The relatives and friends are invited to attend her funeral services Friday at 11 o'clock in St. Matthews Lutheran Church, 405 King St. Interment, Magnolia Cemetery. Friends may call at J. HENRY STUHR, INC., DOWNTOWN CHAPEL, Thursday between 5 and 7 o'clock.
Margaret Quante was born in Savannah, Ga., on February 6, 1923.
After completing three years of undergraduate studies at Newberry College she entered the Medical College of Georgia as one of only two women in a class of 80 students. After receiving her M.D. degree in 1949, she began her rotating internship at Roper Hospital in Charleston. It was during her internship that she met and married her husband, Dr. Louie Jenkins.
Deciding on a career in pediatrics, the young Dr. Jenkins began a two-year residency at Roper, finishing in 1952. On completion of her residency training, she was invited to stay on the next year as Chief Resident and Teaching Fellow in Pediatrics. In 1953, she was appointed instructor in Pediatrics at the Medical College of South Carolina - thus beginning an academic career that was to span the next 36 years.
Beginning as one of only three full-time faculty members in the Department of Pediatrics in 1953, Dr. Jenkins quickly established herself as a tireless worker and accomplished teacher. Shortly after she began her faculty tenure, Dr. Clyde Conrad, one of the three full-time faculty members, died unexpectedly leaving Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Mylnor Beach, the Department Chairman, to assume all of the teaching responsibilities for the Department.
Early in her career, she established the Charleston Poison Control Center and the Medical College's Cystic Fibrosis Clinic which she directed until her retirement. In 1958, she assumed the directorship of the Rheumatic Fever Clinic. Her commitment to this clinic resulted in frequent visits to Florence to check on many of her patients who were sent to the South Carolina Convalescent Center for care.
Her dedication to primary care pediatrics led her to establish a satellite well-baby clinic on Edisto Island in the early 60's where, for over 15 years, she bartered and borrowed supplies and equipment to care for many of the Island's impoverished children.
This commitment to the community's children led her to assume the chairmanship of the community-wide mass polio immunization campaign in 1963 and her long-time involvement with the South Carolina Crippled Children's Program. In recognition of her community health involvement, Region IV Department of Health, Education and Welfare recognized her for "Outstanding Contributions to Charleston Poison Prevention Project" in 1965.
In 1977, Dr. Jenkins was appointed Director of the Pediatric Ambulatory Division at the Medical University of South Carolina where she continued her exemplary teaching and supervisory duties until her retirement in 1989.
A member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and numerous other professional organizations, Dr. Jenkins has been active in statewide pediatrics, assuming leadership roles in the South Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Crippled Children's Program. An acknowledged community leader, she has served on the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Charleston YMCA and as Chairman of the James Island YMCA, as well as serving on the Charleston Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Council.
Dr. Jenkins has been recognized by several Who's Who organizations as well as the National Register of Prominent Americans. In 1987, she was honored by the South Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics by receiving the Chapter President's Award for "outstanding contributions to the State of South Carolina in the medical profession."
She is survived by five daughters, Lucinda Jenkins of Boone, N.C., Dorothea J. Eicher and her husband Murray of Charleston, S.C., Pamela Jenkins and her husband David Kotz of Lyme, New Hampshire, Karen J. Phillips and her husband Mark of Charleston, Amelia E. Jenkins of Mt. Pleasant of Mt. Pleasant; one sister, Dorothea Lippard of Hickory, N.C., and two brothers, John S. Quante and Albert H. Quante, both of Savannah, Ga., and nine grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Health Sciences Foundation for Neonatology Research or the charity of one's choice.
