August 29, 1948 -June 16,2017
On June 16, 2017, Marlene Jensen earned her angel wings at the age of 68 and was welcomed with love and open arms by her parents and nephew in heaven. Born in Kinistino, Saskatchewan and raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta, she married her loving husband of 46 years Paul Jensen and they began their family a few years later. Her children, Jason Jensen and Jodi Gach (Kory) and her grandsons Brett and Brody Gach were her pride and joy and not a day went by that her love wasn’t shared equally with all.
Marlene is survived by her older brother Blair (Judy) Reid, niece Tami (Tara), younger brother Dean (Linda) Reid, niece Chelsey (Tyson), nephew Dylan (Ginny) and their Mom Carol (Barry) Reid.
Marlene is predeceased by her parents Keith and Ruby Reid and her nephew Brent Reid.
Marlene, better known as “Mar”, “Momma J”, “MJ”, and “Libby” lived a full life shared with her family and many friends. She spent many hours in rinks, on sports fields and on the golf course often followed by happy hour and entertaining at home or camping. She loved biking and the outdoors and was active and energy-filled until January 2017 when she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer called cholangiocarcinoma. Fortunately, the last 5 months were spent continuing to make lasting memories and sharing a love that will never be forgotten.
