Bev was born on May 16, 1932 to Elmer and Mabel (Tollefson) Jensen. She was the 7th of 11 children. While Bev was working as a young ‘Candy Striper’ nurse in Grand Forks ND she met her future husband, George Storey when he was a patient after breaking many bones after falling several stories from a grain elevator he was helping to build. They had 6 children and 15 grandchildren and 37 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Bev loved spending time with her family and had a quick wit and amazing sense of humor, along with an infectious laugh that made every time you spent with her a memorable one. George and Bev were hard woking, fun-loving and adventurous. They loved their home in Highland Park in Warroad which was a popular spot for friends and family to gather. George and Bev loved dancing, boating and snowmobiling including trips to Yellowstone National Park and other destinations. George passed away January 4, 1998.
