She married her high school sweetheart, Wes Henson, on September 17th, 1970 in Denton, Texas. She wore many hats throughout her lifetime.

She was a woman of many talents. Her passion was cooking and trying new recipes. Any and everyone was welcome at her table. She fully enjoyed doing anything creative from sewing, needlepoint, painting and many more. She loved to help others. Her favorite and most endearing role was one of wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and aunt. Her favorite place was in her home surrounded by her friends and family.
