Florence Colleen Jenson Schindler died June 29, 2020, in Tetonia, Idaho at age 90. Her life spanned listening to FDR's fireside chats at her father's radio and reading the local newspaper to assess any known names amongst the casualties from Patton's 3 ^rd army, to the 2020 riots throughout the world; fear of taking her children outside because of the poliovirus and subsequent relief with the Saulk vaccine to the uncertain trepidation over COVID-19 making funeral services unwise.

She was born in a ranch house in Bear Lake Idaho November 17, 1929 as the third child to Andrew James and Florence Kunz Jenson. When her older brother and sister left their ranch to serve in World War II, she and her younger sister worked like men, milking their share of the cow herd by hand.  Colleen plowed with a five-horse plow and raked hay with a team. Colleen herded the co-op sheep alone in the Fairy Hills when the boys went to war. These were standard components of her rearing.

Colleen graduated from Utah State University where she earned both her Elementary and Secondary teaching certificates, then taught school in Utah and Idaho. She did graduate work in speech pathology at Idaho State University.

She met and was sealed to William Irvin Schindler in the Idaho Falls Temple August 13, 1954. Bill died in 2014. They have five children who survive her including Susan Colleen, Annette Marie, Brent William, Ronald Irvin and Jay Jenson.

Burial is in Rexburg, Idaho next to her husband.
