Obituary:
Janet Fay Myrberg Jenson
1930 ~ 2012
Janet Jenson (82) passed away November 16, 2012 in Sandy, Utah.
Janet was born on August 21, 1930 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was the fourth child of Axel and Edna Bell Clements Myrberg. She was raised in Salt Lake City where she graduated from West High and obtained a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from the University of Utah.
Janet married Robert Gene "Bud" Jenson on August 27, 1953 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They moved to Colton, California, and later Palo Alto, California, where their home was blessed with six children. She dedicated her skills and time to teaching her children. They returned to Salt Lake City in 1992 where Janet enjoyed being close to many of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Janet was creative in many areas. She could craft words into beautiful poetry, leather into works of art, and bales of old Levi's into slip covers suitable to handle rambunctious children. Her greatest talents were kindness, generosity, and the ability to see the good in others and accept them as they are. Many will remember the time she spent reading, talking and playing with them.
Janet is preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, her parents and five siblings.
She is survived by her siblings, Carolyn (Dave) Kadleck, Dale (Sue) Myrberg, and Bernice "Bunny" Morrill; and her children, Christi (George) Majors, David (Stephanie), Tom (Ann), Ken (Francie), Eric, and Carolyn (Mike) Harrington. She is greatly loved by22 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12 p.m. at the Meadow Ward LDS Chapel, 1955 West 400 North, SLC. A viewing will be held at the same chapel from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Interment at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 3401 Highland Dr, SLC.

Poem by Janet M. Jenson
"Where is a cousin . . . "
"If my grandmother is your grandfather's sister," he said,
"that sounds direct enough."
But then neither of us could figure out what kind of cousins we were.
The only thing in life that can be more confusing than where to place a comma, is how to place a cousin.
One removed cousins hardly ever come back.
Once removed, cousins hardly ever come back.
What is a cousin once removed?
Where is a cousin, once removed?
Which is the more confusing issue, commas, or cousins?
If someone is my first second cousin, but someone else is my third first cousin, which of these two cousins is a kissing cousin? And which is better, to kiss a cousin, or to have one removed? Or, which is better to kiss, a kissing cousin, or a cousin once removed? A cousin, once removed, is no longer a kissing cousin.
Are, kissing, commas, better, than, kissing, cousins? I, know, people, who, think, so.
I once read a chart about cousins, and how to crack the cousin system, but where is that chart now?
I know I have all kinds of cousins, but where are they now? (Not in the chicken coop, or in the irrigation ditch, or in a pea patch.)
I'll have to climb my family tree,
Find out who's sitting there with me,
And hope, along with all the others,
With their fathers and their mothers,
I'll see on every branch a dozen,
Or more, of every kind of cousin.
Are, you, my, cousin?
