Patricia "Pat" Lee Henry, age 96, of Grabill, Indiana peacefully went to heaven on Monday, September 22, 2025. She was born September 14, 1929 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to the late Gail A. and Nellie (née Grim) Rowley and graduated from South Side High School, Class of '47. Pat married the love of her life, Thomas E. Henry on December 27 of the same year. She would spend nearly three decades with G.T.E., retiring as Manager of Special Services in 1987.
Pat was a devoted woman of faith and member of Cedar Creek Church of Christ since 1980. In addition to her daily devotions and Bible Study, she enjoyed playing games and staying active through walking and daily exercise but cherished her time spent with family the most. Her love for Tom never faded, even after his passing in 2004. Known and loved by many as "Grandma Pat", including the family dogs, Pat never knew a stranger and deeply loved her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren; she was especially fond of babies.
