Delbert Jensen Obituary
Growing up in Oak Harbor, WA, during his school years, he enjoyed singing and watching his brothers play sports.
He attended a college in California where he earned enough credits to get a job with the State of Washington, working in the labor & industries division as a claims manager. He worked 20 plus years for the State of Washington in Olympia and made his home in Lacey, WA.
He lived in Lacey for most of his life, with a brief time in Port Angeles, WA until he recently retired and moved into the family home in Burlington.
Del is survived by his two brothers, Jeff (Debbie) Jensen and Tom (Wendy) Jensen; numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. He was close to his cousin, Jane Osborne and had some wonderful friends including his next-door neighbor, Maggie Potter.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia back in 2022.
A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00, Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the Inspire Church of Sedro-Woolley. Share your memories of Del and sign the online guest register at www.lemleychapel.com .

We would see Del often as we delivered him Meals. Once he found out we were Burlington Edison grads like him our conversations got longer .. and longer... he was always happy, never complained and so thankful for the visits.

Delbert was always a happy go lucky person. His smile could cheer me up on those dark and gloomy test days. He will be missed by many, but he's in a better place. There are some people from our class up there with him.RIP
