Richard Jenkins parents: Meet Dale Stevens Jenkins, Mary Elizabeth Wheeler
Jenkins was born and raised in DeKalb, Illinois. He is the son of his mother Mary Elizabeth who was a housewife, and his father Dale Stevens Jenkins was also a dentist.
Mary and Dale have been supportive throughout the life of their son Jenkins. Because of the hard work and support, their son has lifted their names high and followers and fans of Jenkins now know the parents behind this talented actor and comedian.
Mary and Dale hold the nationality of American and belong to the white ethnic race. As for now, we do not know if Mary and Dale are still alive r not because there is nothing on the internet to show.
We believe wherever they are right now will be proud of their son Jenkins.
