Sylvia Ivy Jensen, 96, of Mt. Pleasant, WI peacefully passed away on March 26, 2026, with her daughter by her side.

Sylvia was born in Ilford, England on August 20, 1929, the daughter of the late Arthur and Ivy (Bull) Murray. She met her husband, Chris, when he was stationed there serving in the United States Army during WWII. They were married on October 4, 1946, in Wisconsin and he preceded her in death in 2003.

Throughout her life, she cherished many return visits to England, spending precious time with family and creating lasting memories. A devoted mother, she especially treasured traveling to Orlando, FL with her daughter. She had a passion for gardening, finding peace and fulfillment in nurturing her plants. Her love for animals was equally profound. She was also a proud and longtime member of the Danish Sisterhood: Katherine Lodge #20, where she built meaningful friendships over the years.

Sylvia is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Beckett of Mt. Pleasant, WI; and her siblings, Valerie King, Patrick Woods, and Peter (Sue) Murray.

In addition to her parents and husband, Sylvia was preceded in death by sons, Raymond Jensen and David Jensen.
