Carolyn M. Jensen age 77, of Missouri Valley, Iowa passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2020 at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Carolyn was born October 26, 1942 in Memphis, Texas to Roy E. and Etta M. (Billingsley) Smith. She worked for Area 13 as a Social Worker.
Carolyn was an avid reader, and late in life she did Estate Sales and Home Decorating. Carolyn could speak simply and eloquently at the same time for example during her stay at the hospital she had gone several days without food. During one of her better days there she was given some Jello. She told everyone who would listen that it was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten. Another example from her hospital stay was if she could be given a shampoo. Afterwards she remarked “that was wonderful I feel like a queen”
Carolyn is preceded in death by her parents, son Bryan, brother Chris.
She is survived by her husband Larry Jensen of Missouri Valley, Iowa, daughter Dee Anna Jensen of Blair, Nebraska, son David Jensen of Council Bluffs, Iowa, sisters Cindy Munden and husband Terry of Blaine, Washington, Cheryl Smith of Blaine, Washington.

The most gracious and thoughtful person!
Larry , I am SO sorry.. I had no idea until today. I always thought so much of Carolyn . She was a dedicated Mom & a good friend.. I enjoyed the many years of watching “my” Bryan & visiting with her.
May the Lord bless you during this difficult time..
