Vera Jensen, 95 originally from Adams and of Milwaukee County, died peacefully at home on January 18, 2008 in the company of family.

 She was born in Adams County to Ulric and Mildred (Shorey) Warren.  She and her brothers and sisters had a family band.  They enjoyed many hours entertaining people at local barn dances and in the living rooms of friends.  On December 25, 1931 she married Chester Jensen.  As a young married couple they traveled with a road construction crew.  Her husband ran heavy equipment while Vera provided laundry services.  After the birth of their daughter, Virginia in 1936, they started their truck farm in Adams County near Coloma.  Vera and Virginia drove their produce to markets throughout the state for 14 years.  After Virginia graduated from high school, Chester and Vera closed the truck farm and moved to Milwaukee.  Chester worked as a millwright.  Vera spent most of her working years in Milwaukee with A.C. Sparkplug and Bucyrus Erie.  In retirement she mastered her skills as a crafts woman.  Her many creative endeavors made her a popular exhibitor at crafts fairs throughout Milwaukee County. 

 Sadly, her husband Chester Jensen died of pneumonia in May of 1999.  In 2001 Vera started a loving companionship of seven years with George Brotzman.  George tenderly cared for Vera until her passing.

Vera was preceded in death by her husband Chester, her parents; two brothers, Jim (Alfred) Warren, Buzzy (Forest) Warren; two sisters Iva (Myrtle) Krueger, Leone (Addie) Blatchley; one great granddaughter, Megan Davis and one grand daughter-in-law, Lena Davis.

 She is survived by her beloved partner, George Brotzman; daughter, Virginia (Thomas) Davis, four grandchildren Thomas (Tobi) Davis, David (Dianne) Davis, Debbie (Dimitri) Davis, and Timothy (Barbara) Davis; one sister Belva (Harold) Sonnenberg; and many nieces, nephews, and other family members.

A visitation will be held Thursday, January 24 at 11:00, funeral services at 12:00 and lunch at 1:00 at South Burr Oak Methodist Church in Coloma.  Roseberry�s Funeral Home of Friendship is assisting the family.  Online guestbook and obituary available at www.roseberrys.com
