James Jenson Obituary
James L. Jenson, Sr., born June 16, 1929 in Vincennes, Indiana went to be with the Lord on December 18, 2008. Jimmy created a strong legacy of family, friends, and love. He was a faithful servant of God and was an active member of Oak Hills Presbyterian Church for 43 years and an ordained Elder since 1975. Jimmy dedicated his life to providing for his family and helping others. He was a proud owner of Alamo Loan Co. and an avid hunter and outdoorsman his whole life. Jimmy was respected and loved by all. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather (Papa), Jimmy leaves behind his wife of 55 years: Ginger; two sons: James Jr. and Michael Jenson; two daughters: Jennifer and husband Buddy Myers, and Cindy and husband Mark Tschirhart; and seven grandchildren: Nathan and Alyssa Jenson, Tyler and Cody Tschirhart, Maegan and Christopher Myers, and Allison Jenson. Words cannot express the loss we feel. Jimmy was a wonderful man and we will miss his loving spirit dearly.

I have lost a dear friend but countless others must feel the same way because his integrity and honesty drew people to him. God never has had a better servant.
