Susan R. Henderson

Susan R. Henderson, age 76, of Canton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 27, 2026, at Aultman Compassionate Care Center. She was born in Marietta, Ohio, on March 16, 1950, to the late Ralph A. and Lillian Lural (Hartford) Lichtenwalter.

Susan was a 1969 graduate of Canton South High School, where she was an active member of the marching band. Music remained an important part of her life, and she continued her passion as a devoted member of Fellowship Baptist Church, sharing her talents by singing and playing instruments for the congregation. She also remained active with the Canton South Alumni Band for many years.

Throughout her working life, Susan was employed in a variety of roles, including working for Buckeye Security at numerous locations. She also worked for nearly four years at Century Products, where she helped manufacture baby furniture.

Susan enjoyed crafting and staying busy, but her greatest joy was her family. She gave selflessly of her time and love, providing devoted care and support to her twin sister as well as her mother- and father-in-law. Her kindness, dedication, and nurturing spirit touched everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Brian W. Henderson; her twin sister, Sandy Lichtenwalter; and her brother, Dennis Lichtenwalter.

Those left to cherish her memory include her beloved husband of 50 years, Gary Henderson; her sons, Eric (Rhonda) Layne, Christopher (Cari) Irvin, and Daniel Henderson; along with 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

Per her wishes there will be no services.
