Edward McHenry Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Edward worked at the local paper mill for 40 years, retiring in 2002. He also proudly served as a State Representative for 18 years, for which he was recognized for his long-standing commitment to the legislature in early 2025. In his youth he developed an interest in electronics which evolved into computers, spreadsheets and the latest gadgets, making him a rather tech savvy pepere.
He is survived by his wife, Joan McHenry; a son, Ted McHenry and his partner Jennifer of Limington; two stepdaughters, Debra and her husband John Clavette of Madawaska and Cheryl and her husband Jon Corbin of Kentucky; two brothers Arnold McHenry and his wife Huguette of Madawaska and Pat McHenry of Michigan; 11 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
Edward was predeceased by a stepson, John Dixon, and several brothers and sisters: Gerald (Jerry), George, John Jr (Buck), Shirley, Frank, and Helen.
A graveside ceremony will be held in the spring of 2026. Arrangements are a service of Lajoie Funeral Home, 114 – 10th Ave., Madawaska. To share condolences online, please visit www.LajoieFuneralHome.com
