Bev graduated as valedictorian of Howland High School, Class of 1950. She married Jack R. Jensen, July 27, 1953, and they honeymooned in Paris. They moved to Lincoln in 1958, where she lived for the rest of her life. She worked at the Lincoln mill for more than 30 years and will be long remembered there for her homemade doughnuts. She loved to sew, knit, crochet and cross-stitch. Many new babies have received her handmade sweaters, afghans and bibs. She was known by her many “adopted” kids as Grammie, Mama and Aunt Bev. She is survived by her husband, Jack; her daughters and their husbands, Susan and Clayton Harvey of Enfield, Lori and Albert Marin of Lincoln and Jodi and Ronald Miller of Lincoln; her grandchildren and great-grandson, Joel and Jen Harvey and their son, Eben, Jesse Miller and Samantha Miller; her special sister, Laura McMurray of Garland, Texas; many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Sunday, July 22, at Lincoln Center Baptist Church.
