Nancy Lee Blader, 87, of Minneapolis, died Feb. 23, 2026. She was born March 19, 1938.

Nancy grew up in St. Anthony Park, attended Guttersen Elementary School and graduated from Murray High School in 1956. There was always a special place in her heart for the Park, even though her adult years were spent on the Minneapolis side of town.

She was preceded in death by her parents Clair and Garnet Rice of St. Anthony Park; spouses Robert Jenson and George Blader; brother Gregory (Martha) Rice; and brother-in-law Richard (Jacquelyn) Morrison.

Nancy is survived by three children: Linda (Jeff) Logan of St. Paul; Michael (Patty) Jenson of Vancouver, Wash.; and Kevin Jenson of Edina. Six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren also survive her, as well as two sisters, Jacquelyn (Rice) Morrison of Chino, Calif., Barbara (Rice) Chapman of Cedar, Minn.; and a sister-in-law, Martha Rice of Lincoln, Mich.

A private family service will be held in the spring. Memorial donations may be made to Our Lady of Peace Hospice, 2076 St. Anthony Ave, St. Paul, MN55104.
