Amy Jensen Obituary
Our beloved wife, mother and friend Amy Fraughton Jensen (42) passed away in Provo, Utah from complications of a brain tumor on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, to join her daughter Samantha in Heaven. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 10, 1969, to Edward J. and Ann Fraughton, Amy grew up in South Jordan, Utah, graduated from Bingham High School, excelled in gymnastics and received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Utah. Amy married the love of her life Nathan Jensen August 1st 1996. Amy had a very gentle, nurturing personality, lifting and helping others whenever she could, leaving a trail of love wherever she went. She had a unique gift of making people feel special and readily accepted everyone into her sphere of friends. She provided loving care for Jenny, a handicapped foster child and many other special needs young adults. Her greatest love was her family and she made every day with them count. Blaine and Brittney could always rely on their mother's support. She and Spencer enjoyed fostering homeless kittens and finding them new homes. She loved learning, doing and creating. Artistically she found her passion as a talented photographer with Adam serving as her assistant. Seeing the world through her lens, she often donated her time to bless others with her unique talent and taught 4-H photography classes. Known as the "neighborhood Mom" to all of her children's friends, her home was the place to be! Amy is preceded in death by her daughter Samantha, and survived by her husband Nathan Jensen, children Blaine (Jill), Brittney (Andy Dame), Adam and Spencer, parents Edward J. and Ann Fraughton of South Jordan, Utah and siblings Kristi (Jeff Chapman) of Rexburg, Idaho, Ted (Tina), Michael (Lisa). She is loved dearly and will be missed by all.

Nathan and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Amy. I still remember when you came to my parent's home and announced your engagement so many years ago. I was so happy for you. I didn't know Amy well, but it sounds like she was an incredibly self-less and kind wife, mother, friend and neighbor. I am deeply praying that you will be comforted at this time and that you will feel the Lord's sustaining power to uphold you and bring you peace through this great trial. All my love,
Karen Jensen Strong
