Alfie was born on December 3, 1945, to parents Thomas Chancey and Leona May (Davis) Chamberlain. Alfie and her brother, Alvin were the 1st set of twins born at CMCH.
Alfie loved bowling, golf, playing video poker and slots at the casino. Alfie graduated from Murphy’s Beauty School before getting a job with Hitachi, so she did not pursue her cosmetology career. She spent over 10 years working for Hitachi, then went to work for the SCIT at Bingo in the gym. She continued to work for the casino and became supervisor for coat check, valet, and phone operators. working for SCIT for over 16 years.
Alfie loved the Faith Indian Church of the Nazarene, leading choir, working on fundraiser days where she made awesome blanket dogs and frybread with friends Barb Sprague and Rosie Wassegijig. She really missed the “olden days” music, whether it be gospel, country, or Motown 50’s and 60’s.
Alfie is survived by her husband, Michael R. Jenkins, four children, Christopher Moses, Sr., Scott Moses, Sr., Paul Moses, Sharrie Moses, sisters Juanita Slater and Esther Chatfield, 9 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren, lots of nieces, nephews, and her extended family on Michael’s side, George and Patricia Marek. Alfie wants you to know that she will be waiting on the other side of Jordan for all of you.
Alfie was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Leona, sisters Margaret (Arnold) Sowmick, Joyce (Robert) Francis, Marilyn (Richard) Sprague, brothers Thomas Chamberlain, Robert Chamberlain, and twin brother Alvin Chamberlain, brothers in law John Williams, Chuck Slater, Sr., and Wallace Chatfield.
