Jerre Lynn Henderson

Jerre Lynn (Stewart) Henderson was born in Austin, Texas, on September 25, 1945. She finally got her wish to go to Heaven on December 8, 2023. She was the first of 6 siblings born to Clyde and Aline (Murray) Stewart. She had many cousins that she loved as siblings, too.

Jerre married the love of her life, Donald Henderson, on November 17, 1963, which began her life as a Marine wife. She was very proud to be a Marine wife. Don always said she was such a strong person, taking care of the family whenever he was deployed, which was often. Part of her family were the dear, life-long friends she met in military life. Two couples, John and Veronica Frazier, and Jim and Vi Andrade, were Don and Jerre’s forever best friends. She had such a full life that there wouldn’t be enough room here to tell her whole story. She was a member of the Fowler United Methodist Church and loved her church family.

Jerre and Don had 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and 2 great, great- grandchildren. She loved all of her family so much.
