Marilyn F. Jensen

Marilyn Faye Jensen passed peacefully at 69 years old following an extended illness. She was preceded in death by her veteran husband Gregory who served in the US Army. Deeply devoted to her family and pets, she always put the needs of others before her own. Originally from North and South Dakota, Marilyn's family settled near Ft. Bliss following several assignments including Okinawa, Germany, and Key West.

Marilyn took great pride in her work as a waitress for over 30 years, always providing superb service while remembering all her repeat customers. She was the proudest mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, happiest when cooking for and entertaining others. Marilyn found great joy in decorating her home for Christmas and spoiling all the children. After her husband's passing, Marilyn enjoyed community service through the activities of the Moose organization, as well as traveling to visit family and friends in Austin, Houston, Dallas, and South Dakota.

Marilyn is survived by sons Shawn and Cory, daughter Michelle, grandchildren Christopher, Heather, Rebecca, and Samuel, and great-grandchildren Brooklyn, Conrad, and Maxavier. She is also survived by her twin Carolyn, and sisters Mildred and Barbara. A graveside memorial service is scheduled at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery on Sunday, March 28 at 10:30 am. Donations in loving memory of Marilyn may be made to www.moosecharities.org or to the Humane Society of El Paso.
