Nekrolog:
Arlene Katherine Jensen, 82, a resident of Fergus Falls, died Sunday, November 1, 2015, at her home.
She was born on December 16, 1932, to Dewey G. and Daisy (Bugbee) Miller in Erhard. She attended elementary school in District 187 and graduated from Washington High School in Fergus Falls in 1951.
On January 22, 1954, Arlene was married to Stanley E. Jensen in Webster, SD. Together they had five children. She was a special education paraprofessional from 1978 to 1994 with School Districts 544 and 935.
Arlene was a faithful and active member of Stavanger Lutheran Church. She was also a member of the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary. Her devotion and love to her family was evident throughout her lifetime.
Mom enjoyed gardening, baking, sewing, cooking, needlework, crossword puzzles and Jeopardy, but most of all, entertaining family and friends. Mom kept an organized and spotless farm home, everything had a place and everything was in its place by days end. The garden she and dad raised was well cared for, free of weeds; the produce bountiful and offered to anyone and everyone who visited. By summer's end, her canning shelves were full, beautiful, and photo worthy; the freezer was full. Mom loved to sew and she was a stickler for a straight seam in any garment she created. Mom's coffee pot was always on and the cookie jar was never empty of homemade cookies. When company came you better be prepared to stay for a meal, a farm meal, and you never left her home hungry. That gave her great pride, and her grandchildren will tell you how true that is. She loved to embroider and she did her best to make sure her children and grandchildren had dishtowels embellished with their favorite embroidered themes. Her work crossword puzzle dictionary attests to a favored activity.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dewey and Daisy; three brothers, Dale Miller, Darrell Miller and Bruce Harrington; a sister-in-law, Joanne Miller; and a son-in-law, Gary Foltz.
Arlene is survived by her husband of sixty-one years, Stanley Jensen of Fergus Falls; her five children, Terry (Pam) Jensen of Dawson, Janelle (Craig) Scheidecker of Fergus Falls, Julie Foltz of Grand Forks, Lori (Rollie) Mann of Battle Lake and Mark (Lori) Jensen of Fergus Falls; eleven grandchildren, Katie (Chase) Johansen, Allyson Jensen, Madolyn Jensen, Joseph (Beth) Scheidecker, Adam Scheidecker, Holly Foltz, Garrett Foltz, Brianna (Kenny Mitchell) Mann, Richie (Kat) Mann, Amanda Jensen and Jesse (Jay) Mark; eight great-grandchildren, Abby, Sophia and Makayla Trosdahl, Clara, Maggie and Jaynie Mark, Ava Scheidecker and Ever Mann; her siblings, Rollis "Rod" (Luella) Miller, Clem Miller, Harold (Betty) Miller; two sisters-in-law, Romayne Harrington and Doris Miller; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Stanley Edward Jensen 91, of Fergus Falls, died peacefully on June 9, 2020.
He was born on August 8, 1928, to George F and Dorothy (Dauner) Jensen, in Hawley, Minnesota.
His birthday when he turned 80 was on 08-08-08 and was a special celebration with family and friends.
He attended school in Hawley until the eighth grade, when World War II broke out and he had to stay home and help on the farm while his older brothers went to war. Stan was proud to finish his GED in 1967 and encouraged his children to complete their education. He enlisted in the army at age 18 and was deployed to the Korean conflict. He was proud to be a veteran, member of the Chosin few and survivor of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. During his time in the war, letters from home which he kept in his vest pocket saved his life. He also saved the lives of many others with his almost 30 gallons of blood donated over 40 years, and was honored by the American Red Cross as one of their top donors.
After returning from the war, Stan moved back home to the farm in Hitterdahl, but often visited his older brother Ernie in Wendell. On one of those visits, he met the love of his life, Arlene Katherine Miller, in Fergus Falls. They married on January 22, 1954, through the years that marriage was blessed with two sons and three daughters.
Stan started a dairy farm, just south of Fergus Falls, where youngest son Mark and family still reside today. Stan had several jobs off the farm, including the sugar beet plant in Moorhead and worked 22 years at the Regional Treatment Center in Fergus Falls. He loved to mow, keep the yard beautiful and planted many trees, including a favorite Black Walnut tree that he started from seed.
Work was a big part of Stan's life, but he also enjoyed trips to their cabin at Lake of the Woods, fishing, bear hunting, and deer hunting in Maplewood near where Arlene grew up. Family was important to Stan and all of his grandchildren felt special and loved staying at their grandparent's house. Some of the favorite things about Gramma and Grampa Jensen's farm were the food, the garden, playing in the yard, and games with the cousins. Grampa was a foodie and loved Gramma's cooking \endash we all did! There were always cookies and a pie or two waiting for company. Although Grampa did not have a chance to talk a lot, (Gramma was a gifted conversationalist) you always knew where he stood on any subject. After Arlene passed from cancer in 2015, Stan visited her grave daily until driving became difficult. Stan spent his later years at Mill Street Residence and most recently at the MN Veteran's Home in Fergus Falls.
Stanley was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Arlene; his parents, George F. and Dorothy Jensen; brothers, Chester, Joe, Ernie, and Howard, and sisters, Lenora and a still born sister. Also, son-in-law Gary Foltz who was tragically lost too young in 2001.
He is survived by his children, Terry (Pam) Jensen of Underwood, Janelle (Craig) Scheidecker of Fergus Falls, Julie Foltz of Grand Forks, Lori (Rollie) Mann of Battle Lake, and Mark (Lori) Jensen of Fergus Falls; grandchildren, Katie (Chase) Johansen, Allyson (Isaiah) Jensen, Madolyn Jensen, Joe (Beth) Scheidecker, Adam Scheidecker, Holly Foltz, Garrett Foltz, Brianna Mann, Richie (Kat) Mann, Jessie (Jay) Mark, and Amanda Jensen; great-grandchildren, Cash Johansen, Ava and Lily Scheidecker, Ever Mann, Abby, Sophia, and Makayla Trosdahl, and Clara, Maggie, Jaynie, and Henry Mark, and also numerous nieces and nephews.
