She is survived by her husband, Rick Henry; her daughter, Marley Jones (Chris); her beloved three granddaughters; and her brothers, Bill Thompson (Vickie) and Lelon Thompson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. William Bert and Mary Etta Thompson; and her son, Matthew Rankin.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. We look forward to seeing her again fully healed in Heaven
