Deanna Jensen-Graham
April 21, 1959 — May 20, 2024
MISSOULA ~ Deanna Jensen Graham was born on April 21, 1959 in Spokane, Washington to Geniece Louise Kepple Jensen and Gordon Melvin Jensen. Her family moved to Montana when she was 6 years old, as her father started his own business in Missoula.
While in Missoula, she went to Franklin Elementary and Sentinel High School. As a teenager she had a passion for horses and dogs. She even raised a few farm animals for 4-H. She trained her horses to barrel race and had them perform in showing events. Her passion for animals never died. She later started her own grooming business, DJ’s K-9 Parlor
.
She married Ralph Leroy Graham on July 1st after they had their children. She and Leroy enjoyed many sporting events with her children, playing cribbage, rummy with her parents and family members, fishing at Holter Lake, and watching football games.
The loss of her husband, parents, and brother David took a toll on her. She struggled greatly with this, but managed to pull through and enjoy her life the best she was able to physically.
She always said her greatest accomplishment in life was her children. She was so proud of Kenneth and Krystle and how they turned out to be loving, passionate, and hardworking people. She often said, “I did pretty good.”
Her grandchildren were her “sunshine.” She loved to sing them “You are my sunshine.” Her spirit will be missed by all those she touched with her love and kindness.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph Leroy Graham, brother David Jensen, father Gordon Jensen, and mother Geniece Jensen.
She is survived by her brother Steve Jensen, sister Sherri Trahan, brother in law Craig Trahan, son Kenneth Graham, daughter Krystle Graham, daughter in law Deana Graham, granddaughter Everlee Graham, and grandson Marshall Graham.
Her graveside service will be at 1 p.m. Friday, May 31, 2024 at Sunset Memorial Gardens
