Dana Henderson Obituary

Dana Marie Henderson
December 25, 1955 - March 20, 2021. Dana Marie Henderson passed away peacefully on March 20, 2021 at Prisma Greenville Memorial Hospital in Greenville, SC.
Dana was born in Greenwich, CT on December 25, 1955 to James and Ann Aylward. She graduated Greenwich High School in 1973. She was previously employed at State National Bank in Stamford, CT and AMAX in Greenwich, CT. She is survived by her husband of 41 years David Henderson of Greenville, SC (formerly of Greenwich, CT), her sons Christopher of Greenville, SC and Bryan (Whitley) of Yuma, AZ. She also leaves behind her sisters Debbie Nielson of Stamford CT, Diane Yelton of Milwaukee, WI, Bonnie Summers of Norwalk, CT. and her brother Rick Summers of Old Greenwich CT. She also leaves behind 7 grandchildren, who
she adored. Dana was predeceased by her mother Ann Summers, her father James Aylward, her step father Richard
Summers and her step mother Mary Jane Aylward as well as her sister Dawn Manis and most recently her oldest son Michael Henderson.
Dana was always thought of as a loving, caring and compassionate woman that accepted the little things in life as being most important, as was her devotion to family and friends. She loved music, an active fireplace and her candles. Her greatest passion was her playing with her grandchildren and going to the pool. Despite her mobility issues she would always engage to the best of her ability.
The family would like to thank NHC in Mauldin for their caring and compassionate care and the staff of nurses and doctors at ICU Prisma Greenville Memorial for their professional and loving care during her last hours.
A memorial service will take place for family and friends at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a memorial donation be made to the Wounded Warriors Project in her name.
