 Roxanne Darlene Jensen was born on July 17, 1926, at home in Eitzen. She was the daughter of Martin “Mike” and Louise (Fruechte) Meiners. Roxanne was baptized as an infant and later confirmed in her faith as a youth at Trinity Lutheran in Lucan. She received her education in Milroy and graduated from Milroy High School, class of 1944. Roxanne was the last surviving member of her class.
 On April 24, 1945, Roxanne was united in marriage to Derwin Jensen at Trinity Lutheran in Lucan by Reverend Edward Domke. This marriage was blessed with four children, Lynn, Cheryl, Linda, and Gene. Roxanne and Derwin resided and farmed in the Lucan area in Redwood County until 1959 when they moved to Clarissa. In 1967, Derwin’s job took them to Hutchinson. They shared 60 years of marriage until Derwin passed away on January 8, 2006.

 In retirement, Roxanne and Derwin enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S.A. on their Gold Wing motorcycle. They often traveled with their Christian Motorcycle Club.
 Roxanne was a member of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Hutchinson for over 57 years. Most visitors usually left with one new acquaintance, as Roxanne made it her mission to greet and welcome those new to Christ the King!
