Jerre Stewart Henderson 1945- 2023

 

My mother-in-law Jerre Henderson passed away on Friday December 8, 2023, in La Junta Colorado with her daughters Jerlinda, and Rhonda by her side. Jerre and her husband Donald Henderson MSgt USMC retired, were patriots. They sacrificed to make our country safe. They were not perfect people, but patriots seldom are. When Donald was in Vietnam for two years, Jerre was the glue that held the family together. She had extraordinary skills, in cooking, cleaning, banking, discipline,  logistics, and much more. She was a gracious, and nice individual who treated me well. We never had a cross-word or an ugly tone. We were friends and I am going to miss her. My life will be a darker place without her. So rest in peace Jerre, as best you can, and don't worry about Cathy, that is her cross to bear. Two friends lost. Within 6 weeks.
