Norma Jane Jensen was a force of nature. She grew up with two older brothers, Robert and George, during the Great Depression. She departed just after the Blue Wave on Saturday, November 7, 2026. She was always passionate about voting. She continued to care for others, especially those not as lucky as herself. She was a champion of rights for ALL people. She had an open heart that never quit. She was a homemaker and an advocate of education. She attended college classes and worked at the Opportunity Center in Racine, WI, helping children with disabilities.

Her interests included world politics, decorating her home, and a love for travel. She was responsible for the finances of a successful company, USAV, in New Berlin, WI. Her infectious laugh was passed to everyone she would meet. She shared generosity, kindness, a love of learning (she was an avid reader) and tenacity.

We will miss the long conversations, the gift-giving and her moral courage about issues she cared about. Our father, Dale, was lucky to have married her. We will always carry you in our hearts. Rest in peace Mom, your good works are complete. We wish for you a blessed journey to a grander mystery…

Norma is survived by her children, Kimberly (Jack) Ingersoll, David (Kim) Jensen and Karyn Jensen (Todd Michael); grandchildren, Karla (Jake) Flesberg, Kyle Jensen, Jason (Lorie) Jensen and Kiana Jensen; and great-grandchildren, Jase, Kenna and Klaira Flesberg and Maverick Jensen. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rose and Tony Musack; husband, Dale Jensen; and son, Paul Jensen

It was Norma’s request not to have a funeral service. Her wish was to have a Celebration of Life party while she was living. So, per her wishes, a 90th year party celebration was held in her honor, with the love of her friends and family.

Donations in her name may be made to: Compassionate & Choices, PBS Wisconsin, Doctors Without Borders, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Agrace HospiceCare.

“Life is brief and very fragile. Do that which makes you happy.”
