Andrea Lee Hansen Jensen

Andrea Lee Jensen peacefully left this life surrounded by family on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at her home in Thatcher, Idaho. She battled Bulbar Onset ALS for two years and never gave up. She was such a strength to her family and friends and was determined to continue doing the things she loved.  Andrea Lee was born November 7, 1945, in Pocatello, Idaho to Blaine and Itha Dance Hansen. Andrea was such a hard worker and was always willing to help her mom care for her younger siblings. She graduated from Blackfoot High School in 1964. 

She married her first husband in November 1964. They were blessed with a son, Cliff and later a daughter, Krista. On February 14, 2004, Andrea married Eddie S. Jensen in the Logan Utah Temple. Eddie was the love of her life and they spent many happy years together. With Eddie came 3 sons and 1 daughter. Family was so important to Andrea. There was always time for family and supporting the grandchildren in their activities. 

Through working at the Blackfoot Medical Clinic and Idaho Ag Credit she made many lifelong friends. She was fun to be with, had a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh. Horses were a very important part of her life from a young age. Her father surprised her and entered her in her first barrel race in 1963 on his horse, Salty. From that point on she was hooked. She also loved Cow Cutting and had great success as well. She shared her knowledge of horses with many grandchildren. 

Andrea and Eddie poured their hearts into building a successful horse racing program, making many friends and achieving big milestones along the way. Highlights of their journey include earning the title of 2023 Horse of the Year, Papas Fame in both Wyoming and Utah and being named 2024 Owners of the Year in Wyoming.
