Doris Mae (White) Henderson, 90, of Butler, passed away following a brief illness on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Born March 27, 1934, in Butler, she was the daughter of William Howard “Muck” White and Ruth Naomi (Robinson) White.

Doris was a homemaker and also worked as a part-time cleaner for various private homes and employers, including Commercial Credit and The Rusty Nail. She enjoyed cooking and baking, especially during the Christmas season when she baked dozens of cookies and made boxes of candy for family and friends. She also enjoyed find-a-word puzzles, playing the lottery and scratch-off tickets. Early in life she was an avid refunder, gathering proofs of purchase to rebate for money, gifts and product savings.

She was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church, where her late husband, the Rev. Charles Henderson Sr., was assistant pastor. Doris and Charles were married Aug. 21, 1960.

Surviving are her daughter, Terri L. Johnson; stepdaughter, Cordelia Ann Henderson; two sons, Charles Henderson Jr. (wife Kyong Cha) and Timothy P. Henderson; sister, Dorothy Smith; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, the Rev. Henderson; her eldest son, Artis T. Johnson; her parents; three sisters, Maxine McCall, Beverly White and Shirley Johnson; and four brothers, Richard, William, James and Walter White.

The family extends its thanks to the many health care professionals who helped care for Doris over the past several years, including Dr. Thomas Shetter, the staff at Butler Memorial Hospital, Concordia at Cabot and Advanced Care Center, and the many Concordia visiting nurses and rehab specialists.

Special thanks is extended to the family and friends who assisted Doris in many ways, and especially her two nieces, Adell McCall and Patricia Bodden, who were always willing to provide help and care during both the good times and more difficult times.
