Earl Jensen, age 77, resident of Stanley, ND passed away December 14, 2017 in the Mountrail County Bethel Home after a long courageous battle with cancer.
Earl was born November 7, 1940 to Raymond and Marie (Bicker) Jensen in Powers Lake. He was raised in Tioga and graduated High School in 1958. He attended college in Fargo, ND.
Earl married Janet Lyson on July 1, 1962. They started their life together living in Tioga and worked for Signal Gas and Oil. Later they moved to New Town and finally, they settled on their present farm in the Stanley area, where they raised their two sons, Tony and Jeff.
Earl loved his life on the farm. He took pride in his cattle and buffalo. He always looked forward to his trips to Alaska to visit his brother, son, and grandchildren, who were the apple of his eye. He was active with the local gun club and enjoyed trapshooting around the state. Hunting and fishing were his main hobbies.
Earl is survived by his wife, Janet; sons, Tony and Jeff; daughter-in-law, Lucinda; grandchildren, Joey, Samantha, Jessica, and Holly Jensen; brothers, Douglas (Joann) Jensen, Steve (Patty) Jensen; sisters, Lucille (Gerry) Solberg, Charlene (Bob) Bangen; sister-in-law, Doreen Jensen.
