Dorothy was born in Racine on March 10, 1940, daughter of the late Francis and Marie (nee: Haigh) Slater. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Robert R. Jensen, on August 16, 1963, in Waukegan, IL. Among her interests, Dorothy loved riding with Robert on his Harley Davidson bike trips to Sturgis, Daytona and Laconia; together they travelled to all 50 states and many countries around the world; she enjoyed going to her grandchildren’s football games on Saturday mornings; she mastered every puzzle and crossword which were in front of her; she was an avid reader. First and foremost, Dorothy loved spending time with Robert and their family. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
