Blanche Burdick Hansen 1917 ~ 2005 Blanche Burdick Hansen, wife, mother,
grandmother, great-grand-mother, aunt and gracious lady, passed away early
Friday morning December 2, 2005 from complications due to a fall. Born August
30, 1917 to Mary Elizabeth Harding and Albert Marcellus Burdick in Payson,
Utah, "A True Lady" is how her family, friends and mere acquaintances referred
to her. She grew up happily and carefree in Payson where her mother ran the
Strawberry Boarding House and her father and brothers ran Burdick Lumber.
Blanche attended the Peteetneet School then went on to "the BYU." Her mother,
widowed when Blanche was 16, decided that they should move to Salt Lake City
where Blanche then attended the U of U. There she met and married George T.
Hansen, Jr. They were married on December 12, 1941. Blanche's proudest
accomplishments were her three children, George (Pete), Mark and Elizabeth.
She was a kind and nurturing mother who loved life and fought to stay on this
earth as long as she could. Besides her love for her family, Blanche loved to
socialize and was known to strike up a conversation with anyone she happened
to meet. She also loved playing bridge with her close friends and, until
suffering a stroke in 2004, belonged to two bridge groups. Blanche made the
best of every situation in which she was placed. Three days before she passed,
with her family around her bedside, Blanche mused, "It's wonderful to have
days like this... But sometimes it isn't." Her last addition to an endearing
collection of "Blanchisms." She will be sorely missed by all. Blanche was
preceded in death by her husband, George T. Hansen Jr. to whom she was married
62 years, and is survived by her children: George (Susan), Mark (Kim), and
Elizabeth; five grandchildren: Stephanie, Chris, Holly, Jordan, and Priscilla;

Jenson Jr., Leo Rulon         
Leo Rulon Jenson, Jr. 1938 ~ 2005 L. Rulon Jenson, age 67, the eldest son of
Leo R. Sr., and Dorothy Louise Beard Jenson was born April 26, 1938 in Salt
Lake City, Utah. He returned home to his Heavenly Father December 9, 2005
after a two year battle with cancer and rejoined his loving parents and family
members who preceded him. Rulon always had a sense of humor and could make you
laugh in the worst of times. He remained positive during his chemotherapy
treatments and fought a good fight. He endured to the end, and kept his faith
and testimony strong, and accomplished the prophet's challenge to read the
Book of Mormon before the end of the year. Rulon was a loving devoted
companion to his wife, Judy, a good father who provided everything he could
for his children as they were growing up, and was a friend to all who knew
him. Rulon attended Lafayette Grade School in Salt Lake City, Bountiful and
South Davis Jr. High, and Davis High School in Kaysville, where he enjoyed
playing basketball and football. He Joined the United States Air Force in
1956, and worked on B52 Bombers at Fairchild AFB in Spokane, Washington. Rulon
received various service metals, and later an honorable discharge from the
service when he was required to return home to take care of his mother, and 10
year old brother after the unexpected death of his father. Later married and
divorced D.M. Taylor. Rulon met his wife Judy at an LDS single adult fireside,
and as time passed, they found they had quite a lot in common. They discovered
in their family histories that both their pioneer ancestors knew each other,
hunted buffalo, and crossed the plains together. They would later claim with a
smile, that it was both their ancestors, Thomas Bullock and Thomas Grover and
others that brought them together. They were married June 5, 1982 and were
sealed in the Salt Lake Temple by his uncle, C. Douglas Barnes. Rulon worked
for the United States Postal Service for 32 years and received several
employee awards, two special achievement awards for Outstanding Service and
one for his work on the Combined Federal Campaign Fund for the United Way. He
also received awards for 22 years of Safe Driving when he was a carrier. Later
as a clerk, he had an astounding ability to remember the names and addresses
of all the residents on the delivery routes in Bountiful. His co-workers often
asked him for help with wrong addresses, names and/or missing information.
Rulon was called to be an ordinance worker at the Salt Lake Temple where he
served for eight years; he and Judy also served in the Bountiful Temple as
ordinance workers prior to his declining health. He enjoyed his callings in
various wards as 1st councilor and later Sunday School president, 1st and 2nd
assistants, and secretary in the High Priest Group leadership, ward food
storage specialist, and home teacher. Rulon was a member of the Sons of Utah
Pioneers and was the great great-grandson of Thomas Bullock, a personal clerk
to the Prophet Joseph Smith; the grandson of Andrew Jenson, a prominent church
historian; and also the great-grandson of George Beard, a notable Utah artist.
Rulon enjoyed sports, and coached church basketball for several seasons. He
loved getting out in the mountains to hunt, fish, and camp by the water, and
enjoyed running river rapids. He and Judy had a lot of fun running the Snake
River, and especially loved the Teton Mountain Range, Jenny's Lake, and spent
many hours by their backyard waterfall, watching quail, humming birds, and the
beautiful Farmington sunsets. He is survived by his right hand lady, his
devoted wife of nearly 24 years, Judy C. Jenson; and their combined families,
Keith (Carol Jenson, Marci (Rick) Winkel, Andrea Durham, Kirsten (Ron) Lim,
Kenton (Karen) Jenson, Neill Brian (Nicole) Pierce, Kristin (Mike) Boswell; 19
combined grandchildren; one great-grandchild; his brother, Duane (Rorie)
Jenson; aunt's, Marjorie, and Elsie Beard; uncles; numerous family members;
friends; and his loving family pets, Annie and Gracie, who will miss him. Our
heartfelt thanks is extended to Regina C. Klein M.D., and her caring staff at
the Utah Cancer Specialists Clinics in Bountiful and Layton for their cheerful
hearts, and many hours of professional and loving care for Rulon. To Vista
Care Hospice Service for their compassionate attention to his needs, and to
the many neighbors, family and friends who have expressed their love through
their many thoughtful acts of kindness. Services will be held Tuesday,
