Cynthia “Dianne” Albright Jensen, cherished mother, grandmother, sister, wife, and friend went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 1, 2020. She was born in Baytown, on the 9th of January 1944 to David Washington Albright and Nena Mae Trammell Albright. Dianne was predeceased by her father and mother.
She grew up attending Second Baptist Church in Baytown where she trusted Christ as her Savior at an early age. She graduated from Robert E. Lee High School, and attended college at Hardin Simmons University.
She married the love of her life, Richard Jensen, on April 21, 1967. They lived in Baytown for several years and later moved to Dayton, Tx where they resided until her death. She worked early on at Kress’s department store, and later retired from Depelchin Children’s Center.
A member of Old River Baptist Church for over 40 years, she served as a Sunday school teacher with her daughter in the 90’s to 2nd graders. She loved her God and her family. She had a servant's heart. She loved to cook and when she was able, enjoyed making meals for others. She loved to work outside planting flowers, mowing, and making her yard beautiful. If you had the chance to know her, you immediately became a better person.
The celebration of Christ's birth was her favorite time of the year, and she always went all out with decorations. Everyone loved the Jensen house at Christmas.
Even in the worst of times when she spent a lot of days at the hospital, she worried about everyone else making sure her family was ok.
Dianne was the mother of two children, son David Jensen and wife Jessica of Old River, and daughter Valerie Jensen of Dayton.
Grandchildren Sabrina Martin and husband Justin, Lauren Galloway. Alexis Galloway, and Cody Galloway.
She is also survived by a sister Sondra Going and husband Eddie along with their children Jim and Teina Laird. Sister-in-law and brother-in-law Carroll and Laura Hilborn and their children Terry and Pat Hilborn. Numerous friends, special cousins, and nieces and nephews.
At her request there will be a graveside memorial service at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at Memory Gardens Cemetery in Baytown. Please wear a mask and let your attendance serve as love and hugs as we practice social distancing. We love you all.
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
