Denver native Fayth Ann Jorgensen died on October 29, 2026, just two and half weeks shy of her 101st birthday. She was the seventh child of Julius and Anna Caroline Petersen on November 16, 1925. She attended Byers Junior High School, Denver South High School and graduated from the University of Denver. She was married in 1949 to Gordon Jorgensen to whom she remained married until his death in 2004. She gave birth to five children; Steve, Nancy, Janice (deceased), Bill, and Bruce (deceased).
She walked and hiked, she skied, she gardened, she danced, she partied and played cards. She went to church, knitted, read great books and watched college basketball. She loved small children, dogs, and watching birds at her bird feeders. She served on some not-for-profit boards and tended her family well. But most of all she spent as much time as she could with many wonderful friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Olinger Chapel Hill Mortuary & Cemetery, 6601 South Colorado Blvd, Centennial, CO 80121, on November 16, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, followed by a Graveside Service at the same location from 11:00 am to 11:30 am, and a Reception from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.
