We
are sad to announce the passing of our wife and mother, Dorothy
Jenson. She died peacefully in her home on Sunday, August 21, 2016
at the age of 61 due to advanced stage cholangiocarcinoma, a rare
form of bile duct and liver cancer.
Dorothy
touched many lives through her work as an artist, through her
lifetime of service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and all those who knew her as a wife, mother, daughter,
sister, niece, aunt, neighbor and friend.
A
memorial service honoring Dorothy's life will be held on Tuesday,
August 23, at 11:00 am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saint meeting house located at 14340 Donovan Road, Oregon City,
Oregon 97045.
Dorothy
loved flowers and the outdoors, which will be celebrated at the
memorial. Donations of live plants for a memorial garden can be
delivered at the service or sent to 37213 NE Vernon Rd, Washougal, WA
98671. In lieu of sending plants, Dorothy would ask that you paint a
picture, take a walk with a loved one, or read a book to a child in
her memory.
We
appreciate and welcome the sharing of memories and photos on this
memorial account for Dorothy.
With
gratitude for her life and legacy,
The Ken Jenson Family
The Memorial Service for Dorothy was so beautiful. Her life was so wonderfully Shared in life and her death. Thank you for letting me take a peaceful watercolor for our home and a small tomato painting for Liberty. I am mailing something for the Memory Garden. My love to the family. Sister Joan Chelson
ReplyDeleteIt is with great sadness that I read here about Dorothy's passing. She painted beautiful pictures and I share her love of the outdoors. My heart goes out to Ken and the whole family. There is no greater loss than the loss of someone who is dearly and truly loved. Elizabeth Rushen
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lively picture. The true essence of spring is so brilliantly painted. I am having such a happy feeling to look at this painting.
