JENSINE FAY MYERS
Jensine Fay Myers, age 74, of Nelson, formerly of Gilmanton passed away peacefully in her sleep on Friday, November 26, 2021, at her residence.
She was born on August 27, 1947 the daughter of Edwin and Grace (Adams) Ottum at the Gillette Hospital in Mondovi. On October 19, 1963, Jensine was united in marriage to Elmer L. Myers in Mondovi.
Jensine was a life member of the Forrest-Gundersen-Klevgard American Legion Auxiliary along with the Mondovi VFW Auxiliary and a past member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Gilmanton.
She was a wonderful cook and baker. Jensine would rarely follow a recipe because she found perfection with her own ingredients. This cooking attribute came in quite handy during her time as the owner of the Sunshine Cafe in Gilmanton. Her family was very proud of her when at the age of 53, Jensine obtained her driver’s license.
Jensine will be remembered for her witty and fun personality. She was always quick with a joke, many times at the expense of her family, especially her grandchildren. She also was a giving lady that would help anyone in need. Jensine’s memory will live on in her family forever.
