Publish in a newspaper
Born on February 1, 1946, in Porterdale, Laura grew up in Conyers, where she fostered many lifelong friendships and cherished memories. She attended Rockdale County High School.
For many years, Laura faithfully served as the city clerk for the City of Walnut Grove, Georgia. Her dedication, integrity, and warm smile made her a beloved figure among her colleagues and the community she served.
Laura found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved fishing, camping, and especially treasured time spent with her family. Whether it was riding on the golf cart or the side by side, Laura's zest for life and love for the outdoors was evident to all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, W.T. and Cora Jordan; her husband Raymond Henderson; her grandson, Keith Gibson; her brothers, Buddy Jordan and John Robert Jordan; and her sister, Gracie Kimbro. Laura's memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, who will miss her dearly.
Mrs. Henderson is survived by her son Lee Yarberry; her daughter Lisa Gibson (Tim); her grandchildren Emily Bostwick (Jonathan), Kayla Yarberry, and J.T. Ferrell; her great grandchildren Jackson, Cayton, Mason, Caroline, Jack, and Will; her sisters Dru Cross, Barbara Stephenson, and Sherrel Cameron; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other family members, and many close friends.
Funeral services to honor Laura's life will be held at 2 o'clock on Sunday, November 16, 2025, in the Chapel of J.C. Harwell and Son Funeral Home with Pastor Danny Sorrells officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM prior to the service on Sunday.
Laura Henderson's legacy of love, kindness, and dedication to her family and community will not be forgotten. She will be remembered with affection and gratitude by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
