GOLDEN FUNERAL HOME - JULY 2023
JOANNA BAKER HENRY

Funeral services for JoAnna Baker Henry are scheduled for 11 AM Thursday, July 
27, 2023, in the chapel of Golden Funeral Home with Mother Dawnell Stodghill 
officiating. Interment will follow in Memorial Park Cemetery. A time of 
visitation will be held Thursday, prior to the service, beginning at 10 AM.

JoAnna Baker Henry was born on March 17, 1935, in Stephenville, Texas, and 
passed away on Saturday, July 22, 2023, in Monroe, Louisiana.  She was 
surrounded by her three children when she passed.  Mrs. Henry loved her children 
and grandchildren above all else.  She was a long-time member of First United 
Methodist Church in Bastrop, Louisiana.  

JoAnn, as she was known by everyone, was the 10th child of Ida and Marshall 
Baker.  She ultimately had 11 brothers and sisters (Herman, Vera, Floy, Zola, 
Daisy, Troy, Bill, Preacher, Gretchen, Aileen, and one unnamed who died at 
birth.)  The family made their family home in Big Spring, Texas, where JoAnn 
grew up.  She was the first of her family to graduate high school.  She worked 
at Zales Jewelry Store in downtown Big Spring after school.  While there she met 
the love of her life, Edward Russell Henry, who was working at nearby Montgomery 
Ward.  Edward asked her out for coffee one day, and JoAnn declined.  However, he 
was persistent and three weeks later they were married. They remained happily 
married for the next 63 and a half years.  

Mrs. Henry was preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings, and her 
loving husband, Edward Russell Henry, who passed away on May 17, 2019.  She is 
survived by her three children, Joni Noble James and her husband Matthew Henry 
James of Monroe, Louisiana; Richard Albert Henry of Ponchatoula, Louisiana; and 
Brian Henry and his wife, Sharon Henry of Sterlington, Louisiana.  Her 
grandchildren are Laura Brown and husband, Dillon of Tega Cay, South Carolina; 
Jack Henry Noble and wife, Sondra of Brentwood, Tennessee; Richard Albert Henry 
II, Raeghen Alyse Henry, and Madelyn Noele Henry of Ponchatoula, Louisiana.  
Great grandchildren are Helena Elizabeth Noble, Emery Louise Noble, Harrison 
Edward Samuel Brown and Henry James Cole Brown.

The family would like to especially thank the staff at Azalea Estates Assisted 
Living Center who lovingly took care of our Mom for the last two and a half 
years.
