Heather Henry Obituary
Heather is survived by her two dearly loved children, Danielle Christina Waul, and Simon Elijah Brewington; her devoted father, Athol Colin-Silvera Henry; sister, Christine Nicole Henry; nephew, Christian Foster; along with a host of extended family members and dear friends. Heather was preceded in death by her daughter, Laurel Elaine Brewington, and mother, Joyce Elaine Henry.
Heather was educated at Vaz Preparatory, Queens School, Wolmers girls High School, and CAST – College of Arts, Science, and Technology. She was an outgoing, intelligent, and vibrant student-often the life of the party among friends.
Heather migrated to Bronx, New York in 1993, her move to the United States marked the beginning of a life defined by hard-work, and her determination to succeed.
A devoted and hard-working single mother, Heather dedicated her life to bestowing utmost love on her family and cherishing her children. She began her professional career in Rockford, Illinois, as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens, subsequently moving on to Blue Cross Blue Shield, where she developed a distinguished career and formed long-lasting relationships with colleagues who admired her strength, compassion, and integrity.
Her family was the heart of Heather's world. She was deeply shaped by the love and values instilled by her parents, carrying forward the strength, resilience, and compassion she was raised with into every part of her life and motherhood. Heather made a personal and faith-filled decision to accept Christ and was baptized on Sunday, August 31, 2025; this reflected her spiritual growth and creating for her the essence of peace and hope.
Heather was a woman of profound love and generosity-helping, encouraging, and uplifting others. She will be remembered for her strength, her laughter, her fierce devotion to family, and the love she gave so freely. Her legacy lives on through her children, her family, and all who were blessed to know her.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, February 12, 2026, at One Community Church, 2400 State Hwy 121, Plano, Texas 75025. Following the funeral, a procession will make its way to Ridgeview Memorial Park for a committal service.

Will miss you Heather, your sing song voice, your boisterous laugh when you are in the office, your caring, your smile, your knowledge, all that made you uniquely you. You fought so hard and you are now resting in the arms of the Lord. May God comfort your family left behind like only He can and grant them the strength to bear this loss. It is well. Rest in peace.

I remember the first day we talked 6 years ago. I had just started working on the same floor as you and couldn't understand why I had to be distracted by the loud Jamaican accent that seemed to know everything. So I proceeded to politely ask you keep it down lol. I wasn't prepared for what I met. A boisterously, heritage proud lady with a wicked sense of humor and an excited hug to meet another "sister". I forgot what I had come to say as effortlessly you engaged me in conversation and offered to help me learn the ropes quickly...you had been with HCSC forever and indeed knew "stuff". Very quickly, the voice became like background noise and when you weren't in the office, it seemed strangely eerily quiet. I also remember your passion and advocacy fight story shared with me after the loss of your beautiful daughter. I didn't even know you were sick, I just kept wandering where you were. Adieu dear Heather, dear "sister"...you are missed and the office is too quiet!. Rest in the lord. May the good lord continued to comfort those you left behind. Amen.

Heather, I was honored to work with you for many years. Your knowledge and passion for our business were undeniable and so admirable. It was so easy to see the love and dedication you had for your family. When we chatted during your illness, you were so brave and so strong, determined to fight no matter how difficult. You are so missed. May you rest in peace.

Heather, you were the legendary "intel expert" of the pharmacy department from the moment I arrived in 2023, but you became so much more than a colleague. Your devotion to your faith and your family was an inspiration to all of us. I will truly miss our long talks about our families and sharing those snowy pictures from home. Rest in peace, friend. I pray for God´s peace and comfort to surround your loved ones.
