Phyllis taught Physical Education at East Grand Forks and then moved to Fargo where she taught Physical Education until she retired. Phyllis received her master’s degree in Education and Counseling from NDSU. Phyllis was an animal lover and wherever Mugsy, her “little dog” was, there would be Phyllis. One of her favorite pastimes was taking Mugsy on their two mile walk around the neighborhood every day. She also enjoyed growing flowers in the backyard, having cookouts with friends and family, and doing volunteer work at the Manor Care Nursing Home. Her wood and craft projects were also fun for her. She was a member of 1st Lutheran Church. Preceding Phyllis in death were her parents and two brothers, Phil Jensen (her twin) and Orville Jensen. She is survived by her twin sisters, Beverly (Jack) Mack and Shirley (Jim) Swenson; her sisters-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews and Mugsy (her beloved little dog). A special Thank you to her neighbors, the Walters Family, for all their love and care over the years. At Phyllis’ request, no funeral services are planned.
