When Robert Brimhall Jensen was born on 5 October 1914, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, his father, George Powell Jensen, was 31 and his mother, Clara Angeline Brimhall, was 30. He married Mary Agnes Beckstrom on 13 February 1935, in Spanish Fork, Utah, Utah. He lived in Utah in 1920 and Magna, Salt Lake, Utah in 1935. He died on 1 April 2011, in Spanish Fork, Utah, Utah at the age of 96, and was buried in Spanish Fork City Cemetery.

Robert Brimhall Jensen of Benjamin/Spanish Fork, UT passed away peacefully at the age of 96 on April 1, 2011 at his home in Spanish Fork. Bob was born on October 5, 1914 to George Paul Jensen and Clara Angeline Brimhall. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, brother Dean Jensen and sister Della Jensen Hall and two brothers and one sister who died in infancy.

Bob met the love of his life Mary Agnes Beckstrom at a dance at Arrowhead. They have never stopped dancing. They were married on February 13, 1935 and later sealed in the Manti Temple on December 19, 1963. They have been married 76 years. They were very active in all kinds of areas: church, senior citizen activities and trips, and Blackhawk. They really enjoyed dancing and playing cards. They loved having their friends up to their land at Pamarama Woods.

Bob worked at Geneva Steel and retired at age 62. Bob was talented with his hands; he could fix up, put together, and make anything work. He especially liked to give one more twist to tighten his projects. Bob enjoyed fishing and hunting and had a hat for almost every occasion and he had an amazing sense of humor.

He grew up in Spanish Fork and graduated from Spanish Fork High. He lived most of his life in Benjamin and moved to Spanish Fork in their dream home at the top of Center Street.

Bob is survived by his wife Mary Agnes Beckstrom and 6 children: Robert Jensen (DeNene), Arlene Neilsen (Bill), Jerry Jensen (Dorothy), Beverly Harris (Jim), Dennis Jensen (Barbara) and Darla Bakker (Marty) and 37 grandchildren and 82 great-grandchilden and 21 great-great-grandchildren.

Bob was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Family and friends will cherish his memories. We love you dad and will miss you.

The family would like to thank Spanish Fork Rehab for the love and care they gave to Bob during the last three and a half years.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at the Spanish Fork 8th Ward Chapel, 1006 East 200 South, Spanish Fork, Utah. Friends may call at the church Tuesday evening from 6 until 8 and Wednesday morning 9:30 - 10:30 prior to services. Interment, Spanish Fork City Cemetery.
