Eloise D. Jansen

Eloise D. Jansen passed away peacefully on January 5th, 2016, to be with the love of her life of 74 years, Ora D. Jansen. She was born on November 20, 1919 to Henry & Georgia Gray in Chelan, Washington. She was a lifetime resident of Wenatchee, Chelan & Manson, where she attended Chelan High School. Eloise & Ora were married on June 6th, 1941 in Chelan. They moved to Wenatchee to build their life together and raise their 3 beautiful children. Eloise even raised the children alone for a while when Ora was drafted into the Army in 1944. Eloise worked at the Blue Chelan Apple Packing Co. as the supervisor of the Golden Delicious line for many years and retired in 1981 so she and Ora could live their golden years side by side doing the things they loved. Eloise was such a sweet, loving, kind woman who was loved by so many; she made people around her smile. Her greatest pleasure in life was seeing her children and grandchildren healthy and happy. She always did whatever she could to make that happen. She loved and was so very proud of her family. She valued the simple things in life and never took anything for granted. In her spare time she loved to crochet, do needlepoint & make beautiful afghan blankets. She also loved her flower and vegetable gardens. Her family will carry on making her famous Butterhorns (they are the best) along with her squash pies. Eloise was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Geneiva Sidie; and her loving husband, Ora D. Jansen (who just passed away on October 29, 2015). She is survived by her 3 children, son Dennis D. Jansen (Rose) of Spokane, WA, daughter Judith D (Miller) Jansen of Cushing OK, and son Thomas D. Jansen & wife, Debbie of Beaverton OR; many grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces & nephews. We feel very bless to have had her in our lives for so many beautiful years.
