Patricia "Patty" A. Jensen

Patricia “Patty” A. Jensen (née Flynn) Age 73, of Wilmington, IL, formerly of Braidwood, IL, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, IL. Born October 15, 1951, in Morris, IL, she was the daughter of James and Katherine (née Mack) Flynn. Patricia was formerly married to Bruce Jensen of Braidwood, IL, and took great pride in raising her family, who were the center of her life. She had a lifelong love for crafting and crocheting, continuing her handiwork even as her eyesight declined. Patricia found joy in her years working at Ben Franklin, where she built friendships and shared her creativity. A true animal lover, she especially cherished the companionship of her three beloved cats. Her days were often filled with the comfort of her favorite shows and movies, whether it was the humor of The Golden Girls, the warmth of Hallmark Christmas stories, or the timeless charm of John Wayne films. Patricia’s life was woven together with love, creativity, and simple joys that brought happiness to her and those around her. She is lovingly survived by her son, Craig Jensen of Gardner, IL, and her daughter, Janelle Jensen of Wilmington, IL. She also leaves behind her brothers, James Flynn of Braidwood, IL, and Ronald (Dana) Flynn of Verona, IL, along with many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Patricia’s greatest joy was found in the love she shared with her family, and her memory will live on in their hearts forever. She was preceded in death by her parents; two infant children, Douglas and Andrea Jensen; her brother, Richard “Ricky” Flynn and her sister, Carolyn Flynn. A graveside service will be held on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Braceville-Gardner Cemetery in Braceville, IL. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to the Midwest Sight Foundation or the Will County Humane Society, causes close to Patricia’s heart.
