DARLENE MARENE JENSEN DIES

Darlene Marene Jensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Jensen of the Orum community, passed away in Clarkson Hospital in Omaha on Tuesday evening, July 26, after an operation about a week earlier.

Miss Jensen was born on a farm south of Blair on July 12, 1927, attended the Blair schools for ten years, but being of frail health was forced to discontinue. In 1943 she suffered a severe attack of mastoid infection, complications from which led to a lung operation in October of 1948. The second operation a week ago seemed successful, but Miss Jensen’s weakened condition proved too great a handicap to overcome.

Miss Jensen was a member of the First Lutheran church, having been confirmed on August 15, 1948. She is survived by her parents, by one brother, Ronald of Blair, by one sister, Lila also of Blair and a large number of other relative in this community.

The funeral service will be held in First Lutheran church on Friday, July 29, at 2 o’clock with The Bendorf Funeral Home in charge of arrangements and Rev. H. C. Jorgensen officiating. Burial will be in Blair cemetery.
