Onra was truly one of a kind! She had grace, intelligence, tact, and wisdom. She will be sorely missed. May she rest in peace with the angels.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Aunt Onra. She was loved and respected by all in the Henderson Family. I am so sad that the pandemic will prevent us from celebrating her life with others at the events planned in her honor. Know that our deepest sympathy and love are with you all.
