The youngest of four children, Judy was born September
8th, 1945, in Hartville, Missouri. Judy lived most of her
childhood in Hartville, although in her teens she moved to
Springfield with her mother and attended Springfield
Schools while her father stayed on the family farm.
Judy was united in marriage to the late Ronald Dwaine
Henderson on November 15, 1961, in Springfield, Missouri.
Together they had two children, Kimberly Kay and Kevin
Dwaine. They shared forty-nine years together until his
passing in 2011.

as well as a host of relatives and many dear friends.
In the mid-sixties, Judy and Ronnie moved to their farm in
Hartville, where they made their home for many years.
Judy was a stay-at-home mom raising two young children,
however she helped raise feeder pigs, beef cattle and bottle
calves. In 1981, Judy was employed as a cook at Hartville
School, and retired in 1993, to care for Ronnie, after his
health declined.
Judy loved being outside, fishing, hunting arrowheads and
traveling with Ronnie. In 1978, she participated in a Bass
Pro fishing tournament where she placed 1 st with a 7 lb 5
oz bass and won a new Bass Tracker boat. Judy also loved
gardening, canning, cooking, playing softball, reading and
spending time with family. On Sunday you could find her
watching NASCAR races, and if you knew Judy, you knew
#3 Dale Earnhardt Sr. was her all-time favorite. She also was
an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
In 1976, Judy accepted Christ as her Savior and attended
the First Freewill Baptist Church in Hartville. Judy also enjoyed the church services the Hartville Care Center provided and attended as often as she could.
Judy was a loving mother, wife, daughter, grandmother,
great-grandmother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law, and a caring
neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and
accomplishments and will cherish the wonderful memories
she has created for her family and friends.
