David Carl Henry Ph.D.

David Carl Henry, Ph.D. a longtime resident of Mansfield Center died peacefully Sunday June 5, 2022 after a long illness. He was seventy six. David was born in Brookings, South Dakota, to Mary DuBrucq and Leighton Ballew. He was raised by his mother and his adoptive father, Carl Henry with loving help from his maternal grandmother, 'Nangy'. David received his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and English Literature from the University of Connecticut in 1968. He received a MS degree in Psychology from Southern Connecticut State University and his MA and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut. Since 1992 he worked as a psychologist at The University of Connecticut, Student Health and Wellness Service where he provided individual and group therapy to students and clinical supervision to trainees. He retired from UConn in 2015 and maintained a small private practice in Mansfield Center, CT. David was a student of psychotherapy and truly valued the many hours he spent in clinical practice and supervision. He maintained personal relationships with his supervisees and they continued to value his wisdom and humor long after they finished training. He was also an avid fly fisherman and spent many happy hours pursuing trout across the streams of the northeast. He was devoted to his family – to his wife of 40 years, his daughters of whom he was so proud and his brother. He lived with integrity, directness, warmth and humor; he will be greatly missed. David is survived by his wife, Marianne Barton, of Mansfield Center, his daughters, Megan Henry of Washington DC ( and her husband Christopher Spencer), and Kelsey Henry of Berlin, Germany, his brother Stephen Henry (and his wife Karen Henry), his niece Sarah, his nephew Brendan and stepsisters Hannah Henry, Emily Banks, Elizabeth Hess and Faye Hess. Funeral services will be held at St. Mark's Episcopal Chapel, 42 North Eagleville Road at the University of Connecticut on Saturday, June 11th at 10 a.m. Burial will follow at Mansfield Center Cemetery, on Cemetery Road in Mansfield, CT. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in David's name to the Psychological Services Clinic at the University of Connecticut (www.psychservicesclinic.UConn.edu) or to Trout Unlimited.
