Shirley Arlene Henderson, 82 years old of Raytown, MO left her earthly home on September 22, 2022, and is now in the loving arms of her Heavenly Father.
Funeral Services for Shirley will be held at 11:00 AM, Thursday, September 29th, 2022, at Heartland Cremation and Burial Society, 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd. Raytown, MO 64133. Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM prior to her service.
Shirley was born August 24, 1940, in Oklahoma. She graduated from Central High School in 1958. She worked in insurance most of her life with American Family and Farm Bureau. She was also a proud member of Connection Point Church.
Those who knew Shirley knew of her love for reading and doing crafts. But without a doubt she was best known for her sense of humor, love for others and her unwavering faith. No matter the circumstances, Shirley was a wonderful source of Godly wisdom and support to all who needed to feel the love of Jesus in trying times. Her advice was sound and always rooted in Biblical truth. When Shirley prayed, you were comforted by her complete faith that the Lord has his perfect timing and plan prepared. Her faith in God brought peace to all that she came in contact with. Shirley was a true, kind, gentle and gracious lady.
Shirley was proceeded in death by her parents Ray and Lucille Yeager, brother Bob Yeager, her husband David Henderson and daughter Cheryl Henderson.
She is survived by her daughter Laura Wert (Wayne), 3 grandsons Phillip (Baylee), Andrew and Adam, one granddaughter Elizabeth and a great granddaughter Remi.

Shirley was my lifelong friend. She was my first friend and we met in the first grade. She was kind and funny and good in math. Perry Como was her favorite singer and we wrote letters every Saturday night of our youth to Perry gets letters hoping he would read ours he never did. I will miss her dearly. And I thank the Lord that she was my dear friend.

Shirley was my neighbor throughout our childhood and teenage years. We spent many hours together not only aa neighbors and classmates but also in numerous dance recitals. So many great memories. My sincere sympathy to her family.
