Most weekends he could be found on a bandstand where many, many people have enjoyed dancing to his music. He was a member of the Old Time Fiddlers and a men's state champion.

Surnames: Jensen, Rasmussen, Wilde Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.idaho.counties.bearlake/1974/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Deseret Morning News, 12/17/06 BOUNTIFUL - Norma Jensen, 87, passed away peacefully of natural causes December 16, 2006, surrounded by her family. She was born to Ivan O. and Martha Elmina Wilde Rasmussen, the middle child of seven children, September 2, 1919, in Mink Creek, ID. She attended Idaho schools and graduated from Preston High School. She married Paul Alton Jensen May 10, 1939, in the Logan Temple. He preceded her in death August 22, 1981. After Paul and Norma were married, they lived in Weston, Montpelier, and Grace Idaho, before coming to Bountiful where Paul worked as a butcher for Tingey's Cold Storage. While Paul served in the Navy during World War II Norma took their daughter and went home to live with her parents in Idaho. Upon his return, they came back to Bountiful where Paul continued to work at Tingeys. They lived on the same block as the store and so the whole family was easily involved in the store to the point that they were mistaken for Tingeys often. After her children were raise! d, Norma went to work for the Mode-O-Day Clothing store on Main Street. She then worked for House of Fabrics for the next 25 years retiring from there. She was probably best known in the community for driving the only Hugger Orange 1969 Camaro around. She was stopped every time she went out by someone who wanted to either look at the Camaro or buy it. And NO, it is not for sale! The older great-grandchildren called her "Grandma Great", the younger ones just called her "Great", and great she was. Her family was her first priority and she loved spending time with all the "grands" and the "greats". She made each of them more than one quilt to wrap up in or sleep under and they usually refused to throw out the old well loved quilt when a new one was made for them. If you knew Norma, you probably had one of her hand towels to hang in the kitchen. She made hundreds of them to give to nearly everyone she encountered, including the mailman! She loved to sew and made all of her own ! clothes, refusing to go to a store and buy clothes she didn't need. No rma's home was a gathering place for relatives who needed a place to live, stay or eat. Her door was always open. She served faithfully in many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She raised two devoted children who survive her, a daughter, Pauline Hodgson (Robert); and a son, Dennis Paul Jensen (Diane). She is also survived by seven grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Hazel Tolman and Cleo Crockett; and one brother, Earl Rasmussen. Funeral services will be held Thursday, December 21, 2006, 11:00 a.m. at the Bountiful 2nd Ward Chapel, 650 South 200 East, Bountiful. Friends and family may call Wednesday evening from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 N. Main and Thursday morning from 9:45-10:45 a.m. at the church prior to services.
