Elizabeth A Jensen, 41, wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and a dear friend to all died on Thursday, June 1, 2017 at her home in Zionsville, Indiana. She was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer tumor in early January 2016.
Liz grew up in Fremont, California but also spent time in Arnold, California. While a California girl at heart, Liz had a chance to live in many places throughout the United States. Liz and her husband, Will of 19 years of marriage, moved a lot, starting in California where they first met. Then moving to Avon, Connecticut just after they were married. After a few years in the north east they then moved to El Dorado Hills, California, then they headed back to the east coast to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, then to Fountain Hills, Arizona, then back to the east coast to Madison, Connecticut before ending up in Zionsville, Indiana 4 years ago.
Liz enjoyed traveling both foreign and domestic, as well as snow skiing with Will in their early years of their marriage. Liz’s real and true love was her family. Liz raised four beautiful children where Liz’s gorgeous smile will live on. She has instilled humility, honesty, love, compassion and nurturing that they will build upon as they become adults.
Liz is survived by her husband, Will Jensen, their four children, Madison (17), Megan (15), Mackenna (11), Miller (10) and her parents Joe and Bev Wiederholt of Gilbert, Arizona, her 9 siblings and their families.
The family asks that you spend time with your children, your friends, and with your loved ones. Celebrate life and make a toast in honor of Liz’s enduring love, friendship, and life.

I will always cherish Liz and hold her close to my heart. I miss her already and I am so happy to have known and loved Liz. To know Liz was to love her… Immediately. Not many people in this world were like Liz- one of the very best, most loving and nurturing mothers and friend you could ever have. I am heartbroken that you had to suffer with such a terrible disease…you only deserved the best in life. I know you will be in eternal peace with God and your grandmother and relatives that had gone before. Olivia and I love you always and will never ever forget you. We love you Liz Jensen.
