Our beloved wife, extraordinary mother and best friend, Ann Butler Henderson, passed away peacefully at home after a battle with cancer on Wednesday, February 12, 2020. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Ann was born to Marjorie Valone Beveridge and Malcom Dale Butler in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 23, 1942. She graduated from Highland High School, was an excellent student and made lifelong friendships. She married the love of her life, Thomas Murray Henderson, on June 2, 1962 and they made Salt Lake City their home.
Ann was loving and touched the lives of many. She was selfless, hardworking, loyal, intelligent, classy, and generous to a fault. She was the unsung hero and ultimate caretaker in our family. Ann dedicated her life to making others better. The world is a more beautiful place for having her been in it. She will be missed beyond words.
