When Marlys Jensen made friends, they became friends for life.

A career-long Lakewood School District employee, loyal member of Everett High School's class of 1957, and Assistance League volunteer, Jensen was known for opening her heart and home to her cherished family and countless friends.

With Richard Jensen, her husband of 50 years, she hosted an annual rite of spring that brought hundreds of people to the couple's Lake Ki waterfront home. That event was opening day of trout fishing for Washington's lowland lakes, which this year was April 30.
