1930-2023
Eileen Guy Jensen, 93, passed away peacefully on Friday, Dec. 15, 2023, at Robin Run Village Senior Living, Indianapolis, Ind. She was born at the Salem Clinic, Salem, Ohio, on Jan. 28, 1930, the only child of Roy and Florence Guy of Columbiana, Ohio.
Eileen was a 1948 graduate of Columbiana High School and briefly attended Ohio State University. She was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 64 years, James E. Jensen of Salem, Ohio, and their son, Jeffrey W. Jensen of Burlington, Ky. Eileen is survived by daughter Jodi Jensen (Jan), Indianapolis; Jill (Dennis) Sholl, Jamestown, N.C.; Jerilyn Jensen (Dennis), Lebanon, Ohio; daughter-in-law Barbara Jensen (widow of Jeff), Wilder, Ky; grandchildren Amanda Aird, Indianapolis; Megan (Sandy) Jensen, Chanhassen, Minn.; Keri Jensen, Wilder, Ky.; Kaitlin Dougherty, Osgood, Ind.; Zachary (Brianna) Dougherty, Woodstock, Conn.; and great-grandchildren Ava, Eleanor and Liam.
For many years, Eileen was active in a country line dancing group in Cincinnati, normally dancing three or four nights a week after work. After retiring in 1995, Eileen and Jim took a long-anticipated RV trip to visit all the states they had not been to. For six months, they traveled the U.S., including Alaska, ending with a flight to Hawaii. Eventually, they settled in Bradenton, Fla., where they resided until Jim's death in 2014. They were active in volunteer activities that centered around the Sarasota Sahib Shrine Club and their church. Eileen loved being in the pool, riding her bike, and playing shuffleboard.
After Jim's death, Eileen moved to Robin Run Village in Indianapolis, just five minutes from daughter Jodi, where she lived for nearly nine years. Eileen was upbeat, very social, loved games, loved to laugh, loved to gather with family, and was always looking for fun things to do. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
