Sharon Ann Jensen

Sharon was an avid softball player and bowler in her younger years. She received a trophy and honors for the highest score for the Maple Lanes Bowling Center in 1982, with a score of 279. She was an avid quilter and enjoyed crocheting and creating quilts for loved ones - all the kids and grandkids have a special quilt from Sharon.

Sharon loved her flowers, especially hibiscus, and Julian handled the gardening. They enjoyed wintering with John and Christine, traveling all over the states. This allowed them to be with the family (and especially the grandchildren) around the holidays.

Sharon loved being a mom and grandma, and was able to watch the grandkids during their youngest years. She will be deeply missed by all who love her.

She was preceded in passing by her son, John Jensen; daughter-in-law, Christine Lind Jensen; daughter, Ruthann Jensen; parents, Melvin and Irene; siblings, Ronald Mathsen and Linda Mathsen Burkhard.

Sharon is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Julian Jensen; daughter, Patricia Lee Jensen; son, Wayne (Marjorie) Jensen; grandchildren, Drew (Elise), Morgan (Dana), Cory, Aric, Cole (Kayleigh); great-grandchildren, Killian, Silas, Lincoln, Bodie and Nora; good friend, Shawn Corrigan; many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
