Marion Henry
Marion V. Henry, age 86, passed away Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at home. She was born September 15, 1924 to William L. and Emma C. (Mathewson) Beebe in Manito, Illinois. A few months after Marion's father had moved from Illinois to Ohio, she had arrived shortly after with her sister, Shirley in the open rumble seat of an uncle's car. Marion graduated from Scott High School on June 5, 1942. On June 7, 1942 she married Alan D. Henry. Months later Marion's husband, Alan was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II. While Alan was serving his country, Marion went to work for the Kroger Store where she became an assistant manager. She also worked for several years as a bookkeeper of both the Kroger Company and the Great Atlantic and Pacific (A & P) Company.
In 1961 her husband was transferred to Stroudsburg in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania and this is where the family had made a home for nearly 25 years. While in Stroudsburg, Marion decided to do volunteer work for the local Community Mental Health Centers Open Forum. She received a certificate as one of their Top Volunteers. Marion also assisted in the formation of a group within the Stroudsburg community that assisted widows in buying groceries and making sure that they made it to their doctors appointments. She was a member of the Bunco Club for a number of years, she joined during the World War II era and was a member until the clubs conclusion, which was over a year ago. In the late 1980's Marion and Alan returned to Temperance, Michigan where she had lived until her passing.
In addition to her parents, Marion was preceded in death by a son, Larry Lee Henry in 2005; siblings, Charles R. in 1926, Constance M. in 1928, Donald L. in 1949 and Lloyd I in 1989 and Shirley in 2010. She is survived by her husband of 68 years, Alan D. Henry; daughter, Lynda Jayne Henry of Fulton, New York, Jenny (Larry) Henry of Houston, Texas; grandchildren, Shantel Lee (Marc), Ryan David (Mindy), Erin Marie (Jason); great-grandchildren, Jaggar B., Jonas G., Layla R. and Baylan V.; brother, Emmett (Helene) Beebe of Indiana and sister, Charlotte (Homer) Martin of Toledo.
