Send Flowers Jeanne E Henry January 8, 1933 - April 23, 2016 Jeanne Elizabeth (Sorsen) Henry was born on January 8, 1933, in Laurium, Lutheran heritage, formed much of her strong, admirable character, apparent even as a young girl. Following high school graduation, she honorably served in the Air Force, marrying fellow Airman Richard K. Henry. During his frequent deployments she raised their four children within the U.S. and Europe until his retirement in 1969 when the family settled in Sherman, Texas. During this time she completed a Licensed Vocational Nursing program and served in many different areas of nursing until ?nding her most meaningful professional role at Home Hospice of Grayson County for eighteen years. Following her retirement in 2007, she continued to serve her community as a volunteer: at WNJ, at Wake?eld Elementary, and in hospice care. She was a giver, an investor in lives, a godly encourager and a resolute woman of faith. She passed suddenly and unexpectedly after a brief illness, still full of hope and future plans, yet ready for God’s appointed time. Those of us left to mourn her passing live in the knowledge that on April 23, 2016, her Savior took her to her home in heaven; and that we will joyfully meet her there, as our faith is in the death of Christ for our sins, a truth we learned from her. She is survived by her four children, Vicki Yowell of Maryland; Marsha Henry (Tanya Scott) of CO; Derek Henry of NM; Lauren Hayes (Don) of Sherman; grandchildren Sharon Bronnee, Katerina Cluster (Scott), Isaac, Timothy and Elisabeth Yowell; Christina Castle (Brett), Summer and Sierra Hayes; seven great-grandchildren; many friends; and her beloved companion, Sophie the beagle.
