Louise Henn

Louise Henn entered her heavenly home on June 4, 2026. Healed after fighting a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer; she is now able to walk the streets of glory with her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her loved ones gone on before, pain-free and cancer-free!

Louise was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, and friend whose life was defined by love, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her family. Her home was always a welcoming place where family and friends gathered, finding comfort, laughter, encouragement, and a good meal. She created an atmosphere where everyone felt valued, and her daughters, Tricia and Tonia, were blessed by the example of a loving and faithful mother.

She leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories carefully woven through the lives of those she loved. Whether tending her garden, preserving the harvest, or creating handmade crafts such as our beloved ‘swifter pad ornament wreath’. She was always willing to try anything- the worst was the corn cob jelly! Many treasured moments were spent crafting alongside her granddaughter Presley, creating keepsakes that will forever remind her family of her creativity and love. She delighted in spending time with her grandson Elijah, whether shopping together or admiring his latest creations. One of her greatest joys was cheering on her grandson Devin as he pitched on television. And she could often be found slipping a sweet treat to her beloved great-grandchild, Bo.

Louise is survived by her loving husband, Charles Henn; her brother Grover Barnwell (Donna); her daughters, Tricia Lewis (Sammy) and Tonia Walker (Dusty); her stepson, Bryan Henn (Canissa); her stepdaughter, Alice Wilkie (Dew); her daughter by love, Misti Lund; Tommy Rhodes (father of Tricia and Tonia); and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family members, and many friends. Louise was also loved by her former husband and family, Alton Connor Sr. (deceased), his son Scott Connor, Alton Connor Jr (deceased), and grandchildren and extended family.

A faithful member of Hoopers Creek Baptist Church, Louise served as a custodian for many years. Before her illness, she and Charles began serving on a mission trip with the Native American Mission Group. She also enjoyed traveling with Charles and making memories together. Including every year going to listen to her favorite group live – “The Inspirations”. Louise retired from AdventHealth, where she formed many lasting friendships with “her girls”.

Her last words left for her family were, “We’ll meet by the river.” -Mom, we will see you soon over on that beautiful shore!-

Family and friends will gather for a time of visitation from 11:00 AM until 12:00 PM on Saturday, June 6 at Hoopers Creek Baptist Church, immediately followed by a graveside service in the original section of Hoopers Creek Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, her family has asked that memorial donations be made to the Native American Missions, c/o Hoopers Creek Baptist Church and Missionary Gerry Locklear.

Groce Funeral Home’s Lake Julian team is assisting the family.
