Barbara Jensen

No matter how many years have passed since I last saw you, my dear Ms Jensen you are sorely missed and living on in all the students you have taught throughout the years. You were always stern with me but you always heard me
out and never let me forget my worth. Ms Jensen you will always be with me. You were/are one of the biggest inspirations in my life. May you Rest In Peace knowing how influential you were to so many.

On behalf of Ms. Barbara Wilson Jensen and her family, I want to thank all who made a positive contribution to her life and to her legacy.

Life was never easy for her, starting with her near death experience as an infant in Germany. Growing up, she had to work hard to get through school to become a teacher. Ms. Jensen never gave in to the challenges that life presented.

Ms. Jensen knew how hard it could be and spent her life's work trying to help her students to not...

I just wanted to remind everyone, "You can not leave until I say you are dismissed. The bell doesn't let you leave."

I just heard of the loss of Mrs. Jensen yesterday. I was so stricken with sadness. I remember the first time we met. She was standing at the door to her class, waiting to greet her students. Everyday she would shake her students' hands. Very respectful. Another thing I can't forget was in class we were reading, "The Adventures of Huck Finn" in silence. I got to a funny part in the book and started laughing. She gave me a look of satisfaction. She smiled at me. Mrs. Jensen really enjoyed...

My sincerest condolences to the family of one of Somerset High Schools most revered educators. I never had her for a class, but many of my friends did...and they spoke of her with the utmost respect. May she rest in everlasting and much deserved peace.

I failed Honors English III with Ms. Jensen. Even though I did not come away with credit for her class I learned more from her class than the multitude of other classes I have taken since then. I have since obtained a BA in English and an M.Ed thanks to the work ethic I learned from Ms. Jensen. The last time I went to SHS for a visit I missed seeing her red truck in the parking lot. Someone told me she had retired and I was happy for her - she touched many lives and that legacy can never...

I'll miss your smiles and Mardi Gras wit, ma cherie.

I came across this guestbook by pure chance. I was randomly searching the internet a found it. I must say that I was completely shocked and greatly disappointed. Mrs. Jensen was much more than just an academic educator to me. She taught much more about life. I left Somerset High School still very shy and awkward, but I always planned to reunite with Mrs. Jensen to let her know just how inspirational she was to me. I will never have that chance now, but I know that she is in a better...
