Shirley Doyle Jensen passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones.
Born in Talent, Oregon, on March 26, 1935, Shirley was the only child of George (“Scorpy”) and Gertrude Doyle.
In 1958, Shirley moved to Fallon after selling the Frontier Pack Station in June Lake, California, to raise her two children. She proudly called Fallon home for the next 68 years.
Shirley had a lifelong love of the outdoors. She enjoyed barrel racing, hunting, fishing, camping, birdwatching, and caring for her animals. Above all, she enjoyed time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Shirley is survived by her daughter, Vada Palm (Eric Palm); her daughter-in-law, Sheree Jensen; her grandchildren, Jennifer Shelton, John Shelton III, Shayna Byrd (Brian Byrd), and Clint Jensen (Katerina Jensen); and her great-grandchildren, Cody, Troy, Brittany, Braylon, Madelyn, Dixie, Quincy, and Lila. She was preceded in death by her parents and her son, James Dean Jensen.
At Shirley’s request, there will be no local services. A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date in Northern Nevada.
Shirley will be remembered for her independent spirit, her love of nature and animals, and the deep love she had for her family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her
