DALTON — Mrs. Susan Bartenfeld Jensen, 40, of Billings, Mont., and formerly of Dalton went home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 8, 2010, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, after a courageous and inspiring four-year battle with breast cancer.
Susan’s courage and faith throughout this trial inspired people all across the country as they followed her journey through family, friends, and reading her journal on caringbridge.org. She always looked at her disease as part of God’s plan for her life and embraced that belief with all her being. Her courage and faith had a profound impact in the Billings Medical Community as she shared the wonders of God’s faithfulness and love to her caregiver’s. She regularly visited with other cancer patients giving of herself even in the midst of her own fight for life. Her courage touched the lives of her doctors so much so that she was asked to serve on the Survivor Board of Directors for the Billings Cancer Center where she served faithfully for over a year. Her ideas provided the backbone for a mentorship program at the Billings Cancer Center that will undoubtedly help countless other cancer victims cope with their disease for years to come. Most importantly of all however, is that without a doubt Susan’s testimony has changed the eternity for several people that she has touched and we are so grateful for the privilege of having her in our lives.
Susan was preceded in death by her mother, Allo Bartenfeld and is survived by her husband Jeff; stepchildren, Camden and Bailey; father, George Bartenfeld; sister and brother-in-law, Kaye and Greg Lipscomb; nieces, Megan and Melanie Lipscomb; aunts and uncles, Pat and Herman Caldwell, Juanita Nations and Jerome Bartenfeld; cousins, Krisie, Jeff, Lindsay and Brandon Howard; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Doug and Betty Jensen; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Karen and Bo Hall; special friends, Kim Harper, Lisa Peden, and Rhonda Peters.
Services will be Saturday at 11 a.m. from the First Baptist Church of Dalton with Dr. Billy Nimmons and the Rev. Gary Scott officiating.
The family will receive friends at Love Funeral Home Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, P.O. Box 11288, Chattanooga, TN 37401 (423) 309-1278 www.komen.org.
