A graveside service was held last Sunday at Aspen Hill Cemetery in Jackson for Jarma Bensinger, a former resident of Jackson Hole. Mrs. Bensinger, 54, who was also a Hollywood actress, died unexpectedly Nov. 12 in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Bensinger was born June 5, 1931 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. She was married to Ted Bensinger for 27 years and the two owned the B-Hive Ranch on the Village Road for nearly 20 years.
Her specific desire was to be brought back to Jackson, where she had her happiest moments, to be buried. She is survived by three sons, John of Bradenton, Fla., Carry and Tyler of Los Angeles; a grand-child, Karla Marie Bensinger and her mother Mildred Lee who lives in southern California.
The following was part of an eulogy given for her at a memorial service in Los Angeles:
Jarma was, of course, a beautiful woman whose talent and beaty led to a career in the motion picdture industry. As a performer she moved beyond being the "Queen of the B Films" to roles in such major films as "Raintree County" and "The Tender Trap." Under contract with MGM, her talent was increasingly recognized to the point that on one occasion following her scene, everyone on the set from technicians to gaffers applauded.
So, Jarma knew a world of glamour reserved only for a very few. But she experienced so much more by marrying and becoming the mother of three boys-of whom she was so proud and to whom she gave herself in myriad ways.
She was fiercely protective of her family and was a facilitator for her men. In some significant ways, it was through her children that she could best get "outside" herself in a way that was open and deeply fulfilling. She loved being a hostess, serving people and making them feel comfortable in her home environment.
Jarma was a sensitive person who enjoyed the solitude of nature who enjoyed the solitude of nature. She cherished time for reflection upon its beauty and was moved by both is simplicity and mysterious inner-relatedness. She relished, too, those homely traditions-the rituals of gathering with family and friends at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As an artist, she was fascinated by words. She was forever inquisitive, a true intellectual who was self-taught, always thirsting for more, inquisitive, alert. And, indeed, she became a writer herself, completing several books. She was working on a promising revision of one shortly before her death.
