August 20, 1929 - March 26, 2026
Sylvia Ivy Jensen, 96, of Mt. Pleasant, Wis. peacefully passed away on March 26, 2026, with her daughter by her side.
Sylvia was born in Ilford, England on August 20, 1929, daughter of the late Arthur and Ivy (Bull) Murray. She met her husband, Chris, when he was stationed there serving in the United States Army during WWII. They were married on October 4, 1946, in Wisconsin and he preceded her in death in 2003.
Throughout her life, she cherished many return visits to England, spending precious time with family and creating lasting memories.

Sylvia is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Beckett of Mt. Pleasant, Wis.; and her siblings, Valerie King, Patrick Woods, and Peter (Sue) Murray.
In addition to her parents and husband, Sylvia was preceded in death by sons, Raymond Jensen and David Jensen.
