Robert Max Jensen

Robert Max Jensen
1953-2019

Robert Max Jensen passed away peacefully in his home in St. George, Utah on March 19, 2019, at the age of 87, surrounded by his loving family. Bob was born on December 21, 1931 to Nellie Frances Eyre and Nels Peter Jensen in Salt Lake City, Utah. He married his sweetheart, Elizabeth (Betty) Syphus on February 12, 1953 in St. George, Utah. Together they raised a large family which now exceeds more than 100 descendants. He and Betty lived most of their married lives Salt Lake City, Utah. Most recently they lived in Hurricane and St. George, Utah.

Bob was preceded in death by his sweetheart Betty; his parents, Nels and Nellie Jensen; his two sisters Marjorie (Charles) Little, and Louise (Edward) Pedersen; and his brother Richard Ernst (Jessie). He is survived by his nine children, Alan Robert (JoNell), Elizabeth Ann (David) Armstrong, Carol (Kevin) Severinsen, Mark Edward, James Merlin, David Richard (Cindy), Joseph Nels (Michelle), Jean (Jeff) Ellsworth, and John Syphus (Alisha). He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to all who knew him. 

Bob spent most of his early life moving around with his family, as his mother and father would purchase, renovate and then sell motels primarily in the state of Utah. He was a popular student who attended Dixie High School, Dixie College, and the University of Utah. He excelled in music and could learn how to play most any musical instrument in a very short period of time. He also was involved in the school theater productions and in athletics including football and swimming. He married his sweetheart in 1953 and one week later left to serve in the Korean War. After his safe return from the war, he and Betty lived in Salt Lake City, Utah where he spent most of his career as a commercial real estate broker. Bob had an inquisitive mind and loved to explore the deeper meaning and purposes of life. His greatest joy in life was being with his family. 

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We have peace in our hearts knowing that he has been reunited with his sweetheart Betty after a separation of more than four years. They were truly an inseparable pair whose love and selflessness was a great example to all who knew them.

A viewing will be held at 9:30 am on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at the Manzanita Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3519 Manzanita Road, St. George, Utah, followed by a funeral service at 11 am. Interment will be at the Tonaquint Cemetery, 1777 S. Dixie Drive, St. George, UT following the funeral service. Military honors will be provided by the American Legion Post 90. 

Funeral Services provided by Serenity Funeral Home of Southern Utah.

Ariel Packard Barksdale

Our sweet cousin Ariel passed away suddenly on November 10, 2018. 
Thoughts are prayers to her kiddos, Emily and James, her husband Dave and the Packard family. 
On Saturday, November 10, 2018, we said goodbye to our beloved Ariel Lynn Barksdale. After entering the hospital Wednesday evening, Ariel fought as hard as anyone could fight to remain here for her family. Despite everything that could be done, her body simply couldn’t continue and she has now returned to her eternal home, where she will be waiting to once again embrace her family. We will all miss her infectious smile and laugh, her quick and cutting wit, and her overwhelming desire to help others and make them feel wanted, needed, and loved. She was a light to everyone that met her, regardless of situation, circumstance, or history. She simply was the best of us all. She leaves behind her husband, David, daughter Emily, and son, James, along with her parents (Gavin & Barbara Packard), and brothers (Phill, Andy, Joseph, Aaron, Daniel, & Nathanael).

A memorial service will be held for her on Friday, November 16, at 11:00a at 715 Utah Avenue, Provo, UT 84606, and, a viewing prior to that at 9:30a. Internment will be held at Redwood Mortuary and Cemetery, 6500 South Redwood Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84123 at 2:30p in the afternoon. We hope that everyone that knew her, will take time to remember the light that she brought to their lives. The smiles, laughter, and contentment that followed her wherever she went. In remembering her, we keep her with us forever. We miss you, Ariel
