Bueanna (Ann) Powell Jensen, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2024, in Vernal, Utah, at the age of 82. She was born on February 1, 1942, in Pima, Arizona, to Albert Gobel Powell and Merle Shelton Powell.
Ann is survived by her two brothers, Carrol and Charles Powell (Lehi, AZ); her three children, Troy & Deanna Hineman (Vernal, UT), Shawn Becker & Ken Skyberg (Rapid City, SD), and Corey Hineman (Wilson, WY); her six grandchildren, Christy & Jayk Chivers, Jesse Hineman, Keith & Sienna Hineman (all of Vernal, UT), and Clayton Becker, Alex Becker, and Travis Becker (all of Mesa, AZ); as well as her 15 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Leroy Powell; her sister, Violet Anderson; and her three husbands, Derral George Hineman, Ron Jensen, and Harold Trautman.
Ann graduated high school in 1960, and soon after, she married Derral Hineman, with whom she had three children. Following their divorce, Ann married Ron Jensen, and later, after his passing, she married Harold Trautman, who preceded her in death in 2018. Throughout her life, Ann was a loving mother and devoted grandmother, her family always being her greatest joy.
Ann had a deep love for travel, particularly road trips. She cherished the time spent driving her motorhome to Mexico or camping in the mountains. She was an avid fan of country western music and dancing, and could always keep up with the best of them. Though she often claimed she wasn’t very good, Ann enjoyed playing card games and dominos with her family.
For the last seven months of her life, Ann lived at Landmark Assisted Living in Vernal, where she made new friends and was surrounded by the love of her family. Though she had found a new place to call home, Ann always considered Arizona her true home. As she passed, it is with comfort that we can say she is now home again, having enjoyed one final long road trip to reunite with her loved ones in peace.
Ann’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her, and she will be dearly missed by all.
