Arlene Carol (Knutson) Jensen, who worked for more than three decades as a reporter for the Kenosha News, died Friday, Feb. 28, at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Janesville. She was 82.
Jensen was born Aug. 29, 1937, in Elroy, Wis., to Carl and Olga (Ormson) Knutson. She graduated from Elroy High School in 1955.
While working at a Kenosha radio station in the early 1960s, she met Donald Jensen of Racine, and they were married Dec. 9, 1967, in Kenosha. Together they had three children and five grandchildren.
After they settled on Kenosha’s west side, Jensen joined the Kenosha News reporting staff. She remained at the News for the next 35 years as a reporter.
A memorial service will be held at a later date due to COVID-19 concerns.
