Stephanie Henry Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 18, 2026.
Stephanie Marion Henry (Feb. 13, 1963) was the youngest child of Sara and Stephen Henry. A talented and generous beader, she created meaningful pieces for loved ones. She lived in Oregon, Nevada, and Alaska, eventually returning to Chalkyitsik, where she spent her final days surrounded by family and community.

She was the mother of Daniel Henry, Darryl Saffell, and Kate Henry, all of whom preceded her in death. Known for her strong, lively spirit, Stephanie enjoyed NFL football and beadwork. She is survived by her sisters Sarah Knudson, Lilly Henry, and Cecilia Henry; her brother Joey Henry (Gina); and her nephew Larry Henry.

The family thanks the teams at Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center, Alaska Native Medical Center, and the Chalkyitsik community for their care and support.
