Jeanne Marie Ensing

1963-2020

Jeanne Marie Ensing, 57, of Santa Clarita, California passed away March 9, 2020 with her husband and sons by her side after losing a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was born to (and predeceased by) Ken and Alta Taylor in Canoga Park, CA. She graduated El Camino Real High School and then attended Cal State University Northridge where she met her husband of 33 years Todd Ensing.

She later transferred to San Jose State University to pursue a specialty degree in Occupational Therapy that would launch a successful career in the heathcare field.

It was at her work site where she became known for a personality trait that we as her family had perhaps taken for granted. Jeanne was always smiling, encouraging and positive. These traits were a gift to her patients who, based on their less than perfect health, could certainly benefit from such radiant and vibrant assistance.

This positive nurturing attitude made her an amazing mother of two sons, Eric and Kyle. Her favorite role as mother was managing their academic and sports activities. The sports schedule fed her travel passion since many of the tournaments were out of state or out of the country. Her guidance ultimately led both to play professional volleyball overseas.

She was constantly planning something, if not her sons busy schedule, then it was our weekend getaways…maybe just an hour away to the beach or maybe a bit further to the sequoias, Yosemite or the waterfalls in Oregon.

It was her planning, positive attitude and competitive spirit that allowed her to put up such a long fight with her cancer. She was determined to see her boys through college and embark on their careers. Her only regret was not getting to see them start their own families.

She is survived by her husband Todd and sons Eric and Kyle Ensing. Father-in-law and Mother-in-law Wayne and Barbara; and Brother-in-Law Mark Ensing. There are many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews that will miss her.
