Dorothy Patricia Jensen

SHARON — Dorothy Patricia Jensen died peacefully in her home in Lincoln, Mass., on Aug. 6, 2020, at the age of 99. 

She was the beloved wife of Philip B. Jensen, MD, for 66 years and devoted mother of Frances (and her husband, Jeffrey), Charles and Richard (and his wife, Sabita); and loving grandmother of Andrew (and his wife, Shannon), William, Philip, Anja, Viggo and Soren.

Patricia was the daughter of Dora and Charles Riley and was born in London, England. on Oct. 20, 1920. Patricia emigrated with her husband, Philip, to the USA in 1954, where they began a fruitful and lifelong partnership. 

Prior to their emigration, Patricia served as a staff sergeant in the British Army MI9 unit in World War II. 

She was stationed in Denmark and developed a strong love of Danish culture and cuisine, returning many times over the course of her life. 

Patricia and Philip lived in Sharon for almost 40 years, where she was a member of the Sharon Woman’s Club. She was an active member of the Millbrook Garden Club. 

In addition to her love of nature, Patricia upheld all family traditions, was a talented cook and was in her element bringing family together over a delicious meal, prepared with fresh ingredients from her kitchen garden. 

She was an expert at fine needlepoint and completed many tapestries that are treasured by the family. While she was an avid traveler, she most cherished her trips to the countryside of her beloved England.

A private service will be held at a later date.

Magic Fluke Ukulele Shop and True Wheels Bicycle Shop are not only under the same roof in a beautiful solar powered building on Route 7 in Sheffield, but they are also both run by the Webb family, telling a tale of familial passion, innovation and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

In the late ‘90s, Dale Webb was working in engineering and product design at a corporate job. “I took up instrument manufacturing as a fun challenge,” said Dale. After an exhibit at The National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, California, in 1999, The Magic Fluke company was born. “We were casting finger boards and gluing these things together in our basement in New Hartford and it just took off,” Dale explained. “It was really a wild ride, it kind of had a life of its own.”
