She was 73 years old and a native of Baton Rouge, LA. Erma was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, Kappa Delta sorority, Junior League of Baton Rouge, Daughters of the American Revolution, Wit and Wisdom Study Group and The Bromeliad Society. Erma's passion was landscape gardening and flower arranging. Known as "Honey" by her grandchildren, her greatest joy was spending time with them and family. She will be fondly and forever remembered by all those who knew her. She is survived by her brother, Gordon Barney; husband, Melvin Henry; two sons, Ross Henry and George Henry; daughter-in-law, Stacy Henry all of Baton Rouge, LA; Granddaughters, Anna Claire Henry and Abigail Henry of Baton Rouge, LA and Kira Elizabeth Haagenson of Hawaii.
