Obituary published on Legacy.com by Johnson-Melick-Moreland Funeral Home - Centerburg on Dec. 4, 2025.
Glenna Jean Hendrickson, age 97, went home to the arms of her heavenly Father on December 2, 2025. She was born in Centerburg, Ohio on February 20, 1928 to Chelsea and Louise
Cowman and has lived her entire life in Centerburg. She graduated from Centerburg High School in 1946. On April 6, 1946, she married the love of her life, Russell Hendrickson, and
they enjoyed 64 happy years together until he died in 2010.
They had four children, Candy, Murray, Holly, and Jan. Jean was a lifetime homemaker, happy to stay home and raise her family. She was well known as the Avon Lady of Centerburg for many years. She enjoyed Murrays band practicing in her home. She was an active member of the local CB Club in the 70s. She also loved going to ceramics classes and making many items there, many of which we still have. She made a lovely large Nativity set with all figures hand-painted. She also made a miniature General Store set in the olden days and hand-made many of the fruits and vegetables displayed in it. She loved her scratch-off lottery tickets, playing bingo, and her computer and tablet, where she enjoyed playing word puzzles and games. She
watched a lot of TV and her favorites were Chicago Med, Fire and PD as well as the reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond and The Price is Right.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother James Hobart Burgess, her husband Russell, and her son, Murray Hendrickson. She is survived by daughters, Candy McCracken
and Holly (Greg) Chadwick, and son, Jan Hendrickson; daughter-in-law, Mary Hendrickson.; grandchildren, Diana (Tracy) Payne, Rick Shultz, Justin ( Erin) ORiley, Joshua (Becky) Clarke, Jeremy Dick, Jason (Lori) Hendrickson,

Dear Jan, Holly, and Candy: I have such fond and funny memories of your mom. She was such a spitfire, and an inspiration. I'm not sure if I can make it to the calling hours today, but I want you to know that I loved her so much. I can't imagine Centerburg without her. Brett and I are holding you and your family to the light. May Aunt Jean's memory be a blessing.
