Obituary for Bonita Jean Jensen
Bonita “Bonnie” Jensen of Denver Colorado died peacefully in hospice on March 23, 2021. She was 82 years old. Born on the fourth of July in 1938, she lived her life ablaze with the spirit of her “Independence Day” birthday.
Bonnie served for many years as Deputy Director of Motor Vehicle for Jefferson County. Her effervescent efficiency was legendary among local car dealerships whose staffers would bring scores of titles and tags for registration.
Bonnie loved to love on people through her culinary skills, holiday decorations and birthday celebrations. She treasured her two grand-children and especially loved her role as “Gam ma”.
She is pre-deceased by her sister Gloria Clark, her parents Chancy and Goldie VanPelt and her husband Stan Jensen. She is survived by her sister Patricia Scholl of Parshall, Colorado; her brother Darrell VanPelt of Springfield , Missouri; children John Barnes and Christine Sage; son-in-law Rod Sage; her former daughter-in-law Regina Barnes and grand-children Madisyn Barnes and Hunter Barnes.
Family and Friends will gather in person for a celebration of her life at a time to be determined later this year as the Covid pandemic and social distancing allow.
