Stephanie Michelle Jensen, born May 16, 1981, passed away on December 15, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family and all who knew her.

Stephanie was the beloved wife of Cody Lee Jensen for 23 years and the devoted mother of three cherished children: daughters Camryn Michelle NaCole Jensen and Laynie Chase Jensen, and her son, Caleb Dallas Jensen.

She is also survived by her parents, Curtis and Janet Faulkner, and her younger brother, Jered Faulkner.

She was the heart and backbone of her family - the steady presence, the quiet strength, and the source of endless love and encouragement. To those around her, Stephanie was far more than a wife and mother; she was a steady pillar of support whose strength uplifted everyone she met, and whose unforgettable, contagious smile brought light and comfort wherever she went.

Stephanie deeply cherished her ''SIS,'' Kristy Carlson. Their bond began while Stephanie was dating Cody and grew into a close, lasting friendship rooted in love, trust, and true sisterhood. Kristy often said that the smartest thing Cody ever did was marry her best friend.

Stephanie adored her sister-in-law, Elise Gonzalez, and held a special place in her heart for Elise and Keith's children - Korbyn, Isaiah, Ella, and Hazel Faulkner - whom she loved deeply and cherished as part of her extended family.

Full of life and compassion, Stephanie had a deep love for children and a natural gift for caring for others. She found joy in helping whenever and wherever she could, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her kindness was constant, her love unconditional, and her presence comforting.

Stephanie found peace and happiness in the simple, beautiful rhythms of life. She loved reading, gardening, mowing the lawn, and tending to her farm and animals-- rabbits, turkeys, chickens, donkey, goats, sheep, dogs, and cats, nurturing them with the same tenderness she gave her family. Stephanie had a creative spirit and loved working with her hands, notably cooking. To which we're all aware of her famous cinnamon rolls, made with such love and warmth that she embodied. She enjoyed all kinds of home crafts, including crocheting, refurnishing furniture, and inventing activities for her students. Truly one of a kind, she seemed able to do it all, pouring her creativity and care into everything.

Her home and land were a reflection of her nurturing spirit - full of life, growth, and warmth - and stood as a testament to her remarkable strength and steadfast faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Stephanie was blessed to spend 18 years as a devoted stay-at-home mother, dedicating her time, love, and energy to raising her children. Afterward, she pursued and earned her bachelor's degree, fulfilling a lifelong goal before going on to serve her community as a Special Education teacher at Barrow Elementary, where her compassion, patience, and love for children touched countless lives.

Stephanie Michelle Jensen will be remembered for her loving heart, her selfless nature, and her incredible strength. She leaves behind an irreplaceable void, but also a lifetime of memories, love, and lessons that will continue to live on through her family and all who were blessed to know her. Her light will never fade, and her love will remain forever in the hearts she touched.

Stephanie is now comforted in eternal peace, reunited with her beloved ''POPS,'' Carroll Jensen, her brother Keith Faulkner, and her cherished grandparents.
