Jean Audrey Lensby (nee: Leonard), age 91, passed away on Sunday, February 18, 2024 with her daughter by her side.

She was born June 4, 1932 in Milwaukee, the daughter of Francis and Evelyn (nee: Cunningham) Leonard. Jean worked at many places throughout her life. The last two jobs where she met many friends were Surgitek and as a Foster Grandma through Goodwill at Atonement Lutheran Day Care. Jean enjoyed reading, enjoyed liking everything on Facebook by typing “LIKE”, watching her soap and Wednesday lunch with her Surgitek friends. Jean was a member of St. Edward’s Catholic Church, although she frequently attended mass at St. Lucy’s Catholic Church on Sunday morning, then followed up with breakfast at Dynasty. Jean loved being at gatherings with her family and getting to watch the little ones run around.

Jean is survived by her loving children: Cindy Imhof (Florida), Michael Lensby (Green Bay), Vickie (Jim) Monosa (Florida), Debra (Steve) Lensby-Monosa (Mt Pleasant), Yvonne (Fred) Bruhn (Franksville) and Rosemary (Mike) Martin (East Troy).

And 23.5 great-grandchildren. Also, her sister, Pat Rinebarger; sister-in-law Bernie Lensby. Many nieces, nephews, cousins and family friends too numerous to mention by name.
