-----------------
Dr. Robert E. Jensen (’38 pre-med), retired Spokane urologist, and wife Ruth were here on 13 July to attend the funeral of his brother Donald J. Jensen, a man well known and well liked in this college community after years in the postal service followed by employment in our UI athletic department. Doctor Bob, who did prostate surgeries for many of our older males, reported that his biochemist son at Johns Hopkins continues to share the family affection for the Northwest, but his major research program doesn’t allow much time for homeward visits.

Notes for Pearl Helen (Spouse 1)
Pearl H. Jensen, 82, Moscow
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Pearl Helen Jensen of Moscow died Sunday, March 22, 2009, at Aspen Park Healthcare Center in Moscow. She was 82.
Pearl was born Sept. 23, 1926, to Ed and Lula Weber Brown on Big Bear Ridge near Deary. She graduated from Kendrick High School in 1944 and attended Lewis-Clark Normal School at Lewiston. Upon graduating with her teacher's certificate, her first position was teaching in a one-room school outside of Kendrick. She then taught grade school at Burke, Idaho.
On Sept. 15, 1951, she and Donald James Jensen were married at Kendrick, and made their home at Kendrick and Troy before finally settling permanently at Moscow in 1953.
Pearl was a lifelong member of the United Church of Moscow and worked in the day care the church operated for 22 years. She absolutely adored children and they loved her. Many of the parents and children of the day care continued to remain in contact with Pearl until the time of her death.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary became her passion after retiring. She worked tirelessly for the organization and was nationally recognized for her efforts. She served as Idaho state president from 1992 to 1993 and was given the distinguished honor of "Mrs. VFW" in 1993. She also volunteered for the mobile clinic for more than 20 years. Pearl held numerous state and local offices and was appointed to several national offices as well. She was also actively involved with the American Legion where she was chair of the "Voice Of Democracy" competition for many years. The National Association of Retired Federal Employees organization was also one of her volunteer projects.
Pearl was an avid Vandal Booster and attended as many activities as she could until her health made that impossible. In addition to her many volunteer activities, she loved flowers and birds, and enjoyed playing the piano and accordion.
Pearl is survived by her two daughters, Sandra Medved and her husband Jeff of Hayden, Idaho, and Lynda Jensen and her husband Tim Brown of Spokane. She is also survived by a brother, Don Brown of Kendrick; two sisters, Kathryn Wohllaib of Greeley, Colo., and Violet Osborn of Kendrick; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Don, in July 2004; and her brother, Kenneth Brown.
A funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. Saturday at Short's Funeral Chapel in Moscow with the Rev. Warren Jensen of the United Church of Moscow officiating, followed by a reception at the University Inn. A private graveside will precede the service at the Moscow Cemetery.
The family suggests memorials be made to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary or to the United Church of Moscow.
Arrangements are under the direction of Short's Funeral Chapel and online condolences may be sent to the family at www.shortsfuneralchapel.net.
