Faith E. Jensen
Our daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, niece and friend Faith Earlene Jensen returned to her Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday June 12, 2021 in St. Anthony, ID. She is so loved and will be missed and remembered by everyone who knew her.
Faith was born on April 5, 1999 to Richard and Patti Lynn Jensen in American Fork, UT. She attended Westfield Elementary, Timberline Middle School, graduated from Lone Peak High School in 2017 and was attending Utah Valley University and working with autistic children as a registered behavior technician.
The lives she touched in her relatively short, yet unassumingly influential life cannot be measured. From the time she was born, she seemed to have a purpose that she understood and never stopped moving toward accomplishing.
She was the sweetest person we’ve ever known. Although she had experienced her share of the challenges and heartaches of this world, she remained unscathed, maintaining a purity about her. She was fiercely loyal to her family and the ones she loved. She loved everyone and everyone considered her to be their best friend and she truly was. She literally never said anything bad about anyone and seemed to spend her days building others and teaching them through her immense love for others.
She was so fun to be around and never wasted an opportunity to experience the simple joys that would come from living each moment to its fullest. She loved theater and participated in numerous school and community productions. She loved cartoons, Disney movies and superheroes. She loved Iron Man and it was always jokingly understood that she was holding out for Tony Stark, the man of her dreams.
She gained many talents in her life. She loved music and art and could sing beautifully, play the cello, sign in ASL, act and pencil sketch.
She embraced her awkward moments with a light-hearted confidence that she didn’t need to be anyone but herself. Her unique ability to bring those same qualities out in others allowed them to feel comfortable in their own skin and to not take the unimportant things in life so seriously.
She constantly found magic and wonder in the beauty and majesty of the world around her. She was awestruck by the stars in the heavens. She was nothing short of a romantic. She seemed to live in her own little fairytale, and for those that she invited into her story, she would help them to see the enchantment of simply believing and in the power found in appreciating the beauty around them.
She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served a full-time mission in the Florida Jacksonville mission. She made a lifelong impact on the people she met there and continued her ministry in both formal and informal/personal settings, always teaching others that there was a higher purpose to this life and a joy that can be found in a Jesus Christ-focused life.
Her smile was infectious, her appearance was stunning. Her beauty ran deep, coming from her seemingly perfect spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, kindness, goodness, love, beauty and hope. In a single statement: she was a bright, bright shining light.
Faith is preceded in death by her paternal grandmother Earlene Jensen, her maternal grandfather William Ray Moore and her nephew Grayson Jensen. She is survived by her parents Richard and Patti Lynn Jensen, her brothers Brandon Jensen (Jessica), Camron Jensen (MaKenna) and Jordan Jensen (Daniella), her sister Brooke Hull (Brad), her grandparents Kathleen Moore and Paul and Janiel Jensen, her nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.
