Doris Jean

Henderson

Our Mom, Doris Jean Henderson, born December 10, 1933, passed into our Savior's arms on June 4th, 2025 at 2:55 p.m. She raised an army. An army for Christ! Every single Sunday morning, the first intonation of the rest of our week was present in the song we sung to herald in the rest of the week: "Onward Christian Soldiers...going off to war...with the cross of Jesus, going on before."

Indoctrination in all eight of her children's young lives, our mom pointed all of us in the direction she fervently believed in. Week after week, year after year, leading us to what she thought of as her calling: following the ways of Christ.

We may have lost our general, but the message she gave each of us is in us forever. We are strong because of her leadership, benevolent because she taught us to follow the teachings of Jesus, and united because she taught us how to love. So we say thank you to our Lord for giving us a mother so wise, so pure and so devoted to her children and her church.

The Army mom unleased upon this fragile world includes Diana J. Zellmer, Danny J. Lang, Donna J. Gervich, David J. Lang (with Mom and Christ now as we speak), Denise J. Fugere-Thomas, Darryl J. Lang, Douglas J. Lang, and Dale J. Lang and all their respective spouses, children and grandchildren.
