Henry, Geneva “Margaret”, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away at the age of 90 on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, at Quaker Heights Nursing Home in Waynesville, OH. Mrs. Henry was a former resident of South Bend, Indiana. Margaret was born on May 3, 1919 in Fulton County, Indiana to Ferman Powell and Florence Estabrook. She was the youngest of five children. On January 31, 1941 she married Norman Wayne Henry who was her kind, loving and devoted husband for sixty-eight years until his death in April, 2009. Norman and Margaret had two children, Dennis Wayne and Kathleen Ellen. Margaret was a devoted and active member of her church, the First Brethren Church of South Bend until moving to Waynesville in 2005. Margaret was a homemaker most of her life. She enjoyed many simple things. She loved arts and crafts, ceramics, sewing, crochet and cross-stitching. She collected countless dolls and figurines over the years. She liked to play board games and cards, tend to the wrens, and take care of the plants and flowers in her yard. She had a natural green thumb.
