Henry; her three children, Michael (Elaine) Henry, Eleanor (Stephan) Norling and Robert (Kim) Henry; nine grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; a brother, Charles; and extended family members and several cousins, including Marcella Dumas, who was like a sister to her.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful and caring staff of Holy Trinity Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and especially to Ann, Emily and Colleen, her hospice coordinators, for being so attentive and assuring Mrs. Henry's final days were filled with peace and comfort. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
