Elisabeth Jeanne Jensen, 61, of Whitehall, passed away suddenly on September 5, 2022. She was born on August 4, 1961, the daughter of Harold and Jeanne (Hellems) Gardner.

Elisabeth was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She enjoyed camping, hiking, going out looking for morels, she loved reading, and putting puzzles together on cold days. Her hobbies included sewing, gardening, drawing (which she was really good at), and crafting. She loved listening to all sorts of music and one of her favorite things was going to Irish Fest which she also loved volunteering at. She loved being around her family and friends most of all. (Even when party on the porch, on Mondays, got into politics, she still loved being around that group of friends.)

Elisabeth is survived by: her children, Reannon (Joe) Huls,  Sarah Jensen (Jeremy Faltinowski), Travis (Sara) Follett, Beau Jensen (Sarah Hartjes), and Dillan Jensen (Jessica Keller); grandchildren, Gavin France, Logan and Liam Huls, Alek Degen, Krystianna and Blake Faltinowski, Madison, Olivia and Abigail Follett, Madalyn Jensen, Conner and Makenna Keller; brothers, Paul, Mark and Steve Gardner; and father, Harold Gardner.

Elisabeth was preceded in death by: her husband, (Jonathan Jensen); mother, Jeanne Gardner; grandson, Jack Jensen; and very close friend, Doug Lewis.

In accordance with Elisabeth's wishes, cremation has taken place.

Celebration of life will be held on September 24, 2022, at 2:00pm, at 957 N. Spruce Ave, White Cloud, Mi 49349. Thank you

A Poem for Mother

By Dick Underwood

Mother, you were just a girl,

So many years ago.

You had your loves and had your dreams,

You watched us come and go.

You watched us make the same mistakes,

That you had made before,

But that just made you hold us tight,

And love us all the more.

We haven't always thought about

The things that you have seen.

To us you've just been 'Mother',

No thought of who you've been.

But we remember now in love,

Your life from start to end,

And we're just glad we knew you,

As Mother, and as Friend.

Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, White Lake Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
