Mary turned her life over to the Christ at an early age. She was a long standing member of Southern Missionary Baptist Church, Toledo, Ohio. Mary recently rededicated her
life to Christ and joined Rock of Ages C.O.G.I.C. She loved playing bingo, fishing, travelling and shopping. Mary is the 4th of 10 children. She was known to look after family members and her many grand and great grandchildren. To know Mommy was to love her sassiness, straightforwardness and her quick wit. She was loved by all for being a great woman with many
stories to tell. She loved her children and grandchildren dearly. A line that most family members are known to repeat of hers was “looking at my pretty legs “.
She was preceded in death by her husband Cledis Henry and daughters Cynthia Henry, Joyce Carson as well as 5 sisters Cynthia, Samella, Mary, Sarah and Elizabeth and brother William James.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard but always
near, still loved, still missed, and held so dear.
