Virginia A. Henry

Virginia A. Henry, formerly of 530 Yale Place, Owensboro, came to the end of life's journey; took the hand of Jesus as He guided her safely across the River Jordan as she slept on April 24, 2010 at her daughter's home in Deanfield, KY. She was born on February 24, 1924 to the late W.K., Sr. and Alice Alverson of Greenville, KY. Mrs. Henry was an Army veteran serving her country in World War II.
