Frances Jensen
Frances Oliva Jensen, a Mohegan Lake resident, died Aug. 21. She was 82.
Jensen was born in the Bronx on Apr. 13, 1938, to Rocco and Mary Oliva. She and her husband, Larry, worked side by side to build and grow a family business. In 1957, they opened Jensen Office Supply in Mohegan Lake. In 1995, after 38 years of serving their local community, they retired and closed the business.
Jensen went on to work at Lakeland High School as a teaching assistant where she touched the hearts of many students and colleagues. Some of her students would affectionately call her “Grandma Jensen.” She loved gardening, all animals, cooking and sharing new recipes with others. She touched the lives of those around her with genuine love and kindness. Fran will be greatly missed but will live on in the hearts of her family forever.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Larry; loving children Dawn, Larry, Glen and her daughter-in-law, Nicole; her cherished grandchildren, Michael, Evan, Olivia and the most recent addition to her family, her grandson Michael’s fiancé, Kate, and her daughter, Mya.
