Mrs. Henson was a strong and faithful Christian woman. She believed strongly in natural healings and holistic medicines throughout her long and well fought illness. She was a lover of everything outdoors. Marie was always fishing any time she could with friends and family. Being out on the water was always her happy place. Mrs. Henson loved to have her coffee on her porch just listening to the birds. At one point in her life she was always rescuing animals of any kind. Marie enjoyed knitting whenever she found time for it. Marie was a fan of many different types of music and was always up for good live music.

Marie’s greatest treasure in life was her family. She was a loving and caring woman who was always caring for others above herself. No matter if it was her children or others that she considered to be children, she made sure that they never went without the things they needed. When her daughters were younger she was always involved in Girl Scouts of America with them. She was truly dedicated to those whom she loved. Mrs. Henson had many special friends that she loved dearly. Marie will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Bobbie.
