On August 12, 1978 Marilee married Ed Jensen at Lake County Baptist Church in Waukegan, Illinois. She was a crafter and had a creative spirit and was very talented when it came to making artsy “home” decorative things. Marilee liked gardening and spending time outdoors and was a great cook. She loved traveling with Ed and together they have visited all 50 States, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the Caribbean and many other places~ they always made wonderful memories. Marilee was musically gifted and enjoyed playing the piano and singing with Ed but she mostly loved to listen to his voice- they made quite the duet. She was a patient person and was always up for a challenging picture puzzle and doing crossword puzzles. Marilee cherished her family and was a loving wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, a friend to many and will always be lovingly remembered and sorrowfully missed.
