Jenita Beverly

Patubo

Jenita Beverly Patubo, a faithful servant of God, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 21, 2026, at the age of 75. Born on June 15, 1951, in Kennewick, Washington, Jenita walked through life with a heart of service, devotion, and love for her family and community.

A lifelong resident of the Tri-Cities, Jenita was raised in Kennewick, where she graduated from Kennewick High School. Guided by her bright mind and dedication, she went on to achieve her bachelor’s degree in computer science from Washington State University.

Jenita used her talents to bless others and found immense joy in sewing, creating beautiful pieces with patience and love. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, reflected deeply in her active membership and fellowship within the C3 church community, where she served and lifted others in prayer and friendship.

She is now reunited in God's eternal kingdom with her parents, Beverly and Louise Sanders, who preceded her in death.

Jenita’s love and faith live on in the hearts of her surviving family: her devoted husband of 54 years, David Patubo; daughter, Chanda (Scott) Crandall, her son, Donavan (Blayne) Patubo and daughter Kristina (Rudy) Mendoza.

Her legacy continues through her 17 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. She also leaves behind her brother, Kevin (Cheryl) Sanders; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews; and her beloved Yorkie terrier, Keikilani, who brought her great comfort.

Jenita's life was a testament to her faith, and she will be deeply missed until we meet again.

A celebration of life will be held in the summer of 2027 with a reception to follow. Details will be announced at a later date.

“Jesus has NO CANCER in HIS body in heaven, therefore as Jesus is in heaven so am I on earth. I have no cancer in my body! I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!”
