Mr. Benjamin F. Strong, affectionately known as Ben, was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, on September 11, 1953, and was the son of the late Lillian A. Strong, who preceded him in death. Benjamin Strong went home to be with the Lord on April 9, 2025.
Mr. Strong had severe disabilities from birth and was a patient at Jenkins Rest Haven Nursing Home for over 20 years. After Jenkins Rest Haven was sold, Ben moved in with the late Bishop Nancy B. Jenkins and Henry L. Jenkins. After the passing of Bishop Jenkins, Henry Jenkins continued to care for Ben until he passed.
Benjamin was a member of Mt. Gilead Pentecostal Church in Norfolk, VA. He enjoyed going to church, and it always brought a smile to his face. Ben loved the Lord and his church family.
