Lenora Lucretia Baggett Jensen departed this life on Saturday, January 26, 2019 at the age of eighty-five.
Lucretia was born December 23, 1934 in Tallahassee, Florida to Charlie and Hattie Baggett. She was the second of five children and the self-proclaimed "runt" of the family. Her family relocated to Salt Lake City when she was still young and she attended West High School. Lucretia played the piano and sang in a beautiful soprano voice. She shared her musical talents throughout her life. She loved to dance and loved fun.
She attended Brigham Young University, where she met her husband at a BYU vs. U. of U. ballgame (he was playing in the U. of U. band). She married Ronald W. Jensen in the Salt Lake Temple on August 31, 1956. Theirs was a love story that lasted sixty-two years. Together, they supported each other, their children, and the U. of U. sports teams, in that order.
Lucretia was a kind and loving lady who gave of herself freely and looked for opportunities to help those around her. She loved to cook and was always trying out new recipes from one of the many cookbooks in her collection.
She was a mom who was always available to give rides, teach cooking skills, sew a dress, and care for grandchildren. She planned many parties and entertained frequently in her later years. Lucretia loved gardening, had a green thumb and a yard that was greatly admired.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Ronald; and son, Steven. She is survived by daughters, Lyn Warnick (LaMond) and Darlene Cardon (John); daughter-in-law, Marilyn Jensen; brother, Dick Baggett; and grandchildren, Emily, Justin, Jennifer, Jeff, Scott, Melonie, Josh, Caleb, and Jacob; as well as ten great-grandchildren.
She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
There will be a viewing held on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in the Union Park Second and Fourth Ward Building, 700 East 7500 South. Funeral services will follow at 12:00 p.m.
Mrs. Jensen will be interred in the Elysian Burial Gardens Cemetery.
