Lori Jane (Jensen) Harvey, 58, passed away February 2, 2026, in Ankeny, Iowa.

Lori was born on August 16, 1967, in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, a small river town, to Charles and Jane (Thompson) Jensen. She was raised in the same home as her father, Charles.

Lori graduated high school in 1985. After high school, she married and had a daughter, Tearran, at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Later, Lori moved back home and spent many years raising her family in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, before moving to Ankeny, Iowa, where she met her fiancé, Troy Nelson.

Lori loved spending time outside gardening, hunting, and fishing. She loved the beach and always wanted to retire near the ocean. Above all, she loved her family, especially spending time with her grandsons and they could always count on an adventure when they were with “grandma”.

Her personality and presence filled a room, and she loved with her whole heart.

Lori is survived by her fiancé, Troy Nelson; daughter, Tearran (Andrew) Hess; mother, Jane (David) Thompson; stepmother, Carol Jensen; sisters, Kathy (Joe) Thompson and Sarah (Charles) Sale; brother, David Jensen; and grandchildren, Asher and Victor Hess.
