Melissa Ann (Carey) Jensen

Missy passed peacefully in her sleep after struggling with failing health on May 18, 2012.

She was born March 23rd 1980 in Provo, Utah the oldest of four siblings born to Ken and Pam Carey. She grew up in the majestic beauty of Northern California and Montana. Being active in the outdoors was a great passion. She graduated from Dixie College and developed an enduring bond to the red cliffs of St. George, where she married Scott Jensen in 2004. Their beautiful daughter AnnDee Mae was born in 2005, becoming the joy of her life. She later divorced, but remained in St George to be close to her daughter.

It is most disheartening when a mother and father lay their daughter to rest before her time... leaving a daughter without her mother and a brother and sisters without their sibling. Missy was our "organization" in a disorganized world, our energy when reserves were low, and our positive ray of hope despite an often cloudy day.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents Ivan Kocherhans, Ralph and Pat Carey. She is survived by her grandmother Lorraine Kocherhans; parents Ken and Pam Carey; twin sister Shanna (Colman) Richmond, sister Leslie (Ryan) Hemming; and brother Justin (Bria) Carey. She is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and especially loved by her nieces and nephews.
