HENKEL, CLAUDE EDWARD SR.
Claude Edward Henkel Sr. died Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2005, at the age of 77 from
complications of Parkinson's disease. His life's hope was that others could
see Jesus shining in his life. He honored his Lord daily during 37 years of
pastoral ministry in the Methodist and United Methodist churches throughout
Louisiana. As World War II was ending, he served for 20 months in the U.S.
Navy. He graduated from LSU and Candler School of Theology. During his
pastorates, he was active in Masons, various service clubs, community
activities and Eastern Star. The most difficult moment of his professional
life came in 1970, when the public schools of Tensas Parish were
integrated. Against the advice of most church members, who were sincerely
concerned for the welfare of his children, he re-enrolled them in the
public schools. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Carol Weller
Henkel, Amite; five children and their spouses, Edward Jr. and Mary
Gillette Henkel, Stuttgart, Ark., Curtis and Ann Henkel Eluert, Richmond,
Texas, Clint and Janet Henkel Smith, Tillamook, Ore., Rob and Mary Henkel
Morrison, Rock Hill, S.C., and Mitch and Rachel Henkel Spruill, Cumming,
Ga.; eight "grands" and honorary "grands," Angel Avila, Maitland, Fla.,
Indio Avila, Richmond, Elizabeth, Stephanie, Katherine and Charles Henkel,
all of Stuttgart, Joshua and Natasha Morrison, Myrtle Beach, S.C., Katie
Morrison, Garden City, S.C.; sister, Margaret Stafford Edwards, Baton
Rouge; and a brother, John Harmon Henkel, Athens, Ga. Visitation at
McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11, and at
First United Methodist Church, Amite, from 10 a.m. until religious service
at 11 a.m. Saturday, conducted by the Rev. Bill Willis.
