Peanie Henderson Obituary
July 13, 1951 – March 6, 2026
Peanie Grace Henderson, 74, passed away unexpectedly from a stroke on March 6, 2026. Born on July 13, 1951, Peanie lived a life filled with laughter, love, prayer, and cherished memories shared with family and friends. She was the beloved daughter of the late Linza and Mary Elizabeth Henderson and was preceded in death by her brother, Lee "Buddy" Henderson.
Peanie is lovingly remembered by her only child, Dana Kerr (Denault), with whom she shared an exceptionally close bond. She was also a devoted grandmother 'Mommom' to Landon Denault and Savannah Denault, who brought immense joy to her life.
She is further survived by her sisters, Paula Henderson; Portia (Steve) Babcock; and Paige (Sandy) Marshburn, as well as many nieces and nephews who will always treasure the memories they shared with her.
Known for her quick wit and infectious humor, Peanie had a way of lighting up every room she entered. She loved to dance and was truly the life of every party, bringing laughter and energy to family gatherings and all celebrations.
Peanie chose cremation, and her daughter Dana will be planning a Celebration of Life in the spring to honor not only her mother but also her beloved Uncle Buddy. Details will be shared with family and friends as plans are finalized.
Peanie was also an organ donor, and through her selfless gift, she will be able to bring life-changing benefits to others, continuing her legacy of generosity and compassion.
Though Peanie's passing was unexpected, she was surrounded by love, with her daughter Dana holding one hand and her grandson Landon holding the other. A devoted follower of the Lord, Peanie prayed often and held her faith close to her heart. Her family finds comfort knowing she is now soaring with the Angels, embraced in God's grace and mercy in Jesus's loving arms, reunited with her parents and brother.
Peanie Grace Henderson's legacy is one of love, laughter, faith, family, and friends. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
