Debbie Ann Jensen Miranda's Obituary
DEBBIE ANN JENSEN MIRANDA
Debbie Miranda 67 years young of Salt Lake City passed away on February 16, 2024.
She was born October 27, 1956, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Benny Deloyd Jensen and Carol Lingwall Jensen.
It's never easy to say, "See you later to those we love." However, we are comfortable in knowing this is what she wanted, and she was comfortable in moving on to the next adventure.
Also, she is no longer suffering from chronic pain due to Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She endured this personal disease for approximately 45 years, the worst of it being the last 10 years. This was something she did not share with family and friends, other than her mother.
Debbie knew people from all over the world. Most from working in the medical device industry, where she started on the assembly line in 1975 and worked up to Director of Regulatory & Quality. For the last 4.5 years, she worked at a credit card company in Watertown, South Dakota, then due to the progression of the disease finally retiring early in 2019. In 2021, she moved back to Utah to be with family and eventually went on hospice.
She had an unconditional love of dogs and hiking, snowshoe, and mountain biking
She worked and lived in Utah, Northern California, and her favorite place was Clear Lake South Dakota. She made good friends with the Anderson and Kluckman family, who were her family away from her blood family. She lived on a 21 acre hobby farm when she was no longer able to keep it up she sold it and moved 2 miles up the road to a small 3 acre place in the middle of a cow field. She loved the people there and living rural with no neighbors.
She is survived by...
Mother Carol Jensen brothers Brad and Stan Jensen. Her niece Brooke, husband Devon Stark, her children Brynn, Jack and Rowen
Those preceded her in death, her father, Benny Jensen, her only child Ty Lamar Hutchins, his father Greg Hutchins, and many family and friends.
We would like to thank the Anderson family in Clear Lake SD for their constant love and support, Alyssa Rhody for her friendship, and being her personal caregiver in Clear Lake.
A huge thank you goes to Inspiration Hospice, Shanley Morgan, Heather McCullough and all others that took such good and loving care of her.
In lieu of flowers she asked that you support the non kill animal rescue in Cottonwood Arizona called Pets Return Home run by Mark.
