Gertie Henderson

Mrs. Gertie Bell Henderson, 84, of Weston, died at her home Saturday.
She had been in failing health in recent months and when neighbors
did not see her living room light go on in the early evening, they 
notified relatives who found her.
Mrs. Henderson was born in Fleming County, Ky., on November 1, 1898, 
the daughter of Garfield and Mary Frances Todd Perkins. She came to 
Missouri in 1940 with her husband Roy Henderson whom she wed on
December 24, 1917. They were farm people, and Mrs. Henderson helped
her husband while raising a family and assisting neighbors in anyway
she could. She was also a devoted member of the Weston Christian 
Assembly Church.
Mrs. Henderson had a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
on whom she kept close tabs. She loved to host family dinners and to 
cook for the children. She was a truly devoted family person who took
pride in their accomplishments and pleasure in her home.
She was preceded in death by her husband, who died in 1977. 
She is survived by one son, Larry Henderson, Weston; three daughters, 
Mrs. Margaret Moore and Mrs. Rosa Faudere of Weston, and Mrs. Roberta
Warner Taloff of Archie, Mo.; 29 grandchildren, 54 great grandchildren; 
and three great great grandchildren.

organ and Susan and David Hintz sang favored hymns. Pallbearers for burial
