Jeanne M. Henson

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a brother, Patrick Banet.

Jeanne was the center of her family. She loved spending time with them along with her sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins, and countless friends. Jeanne is survived by her husband of 52 years, Paul Henson; two sons, Brandon Henson (Becky) and Brian Henson (Mandy); two grandsons, Logan Henson and Colin Henson; siblings, Suzanne Summers, Karen Miller, Marilyn Banet-Moore (Tim), Jimmy Banet, Mark Banet and Nick Banet (Debbie); and numerous nieces and nephews.
