Janet Faye Jensen was born June 3, 1947 to the late Glenn and Lorraine (Petersen) Larsen in Exira, Iowa. She was baptized and confirmed at Bethany Lutheran Church in Kimballton. She graduated from Elk Horn High School with the Class of 1965.
On June 26, 1965, Janet was united in marriage with Donald Jensen at Bethany Lutheran Church. To this union, three children were born: Amy, Jerod and Corey. They made their home in Elk Horn, Iowa.
Janet worked at Salem Lutheran Home in Elk Horn until her retirement on March 13, 2015. During her employment there she worked as a Certified Nurse's Aide and the supervisor of maintenance, laundry and housekeeping. She was a lifetime member of Bethany Lutheran Church and helped with meals in her church ladies' group for many years.
