May 4, 1926 - February 10, 2022

Mary Frances Herring Henderson, a long time resident of Mobile, AL, peacefully passed from this earth on February 10, 2022, surrounded by family members in her home. Mary was born May 4, 1926 to William Ray Herring and Lessie Mae Priest in Tangipahoa, LA and was a native of Brookhaven, MS. She is preceded in death by both her parents; husband, Thomas P. Henderson; children, Gary and Karen Tingle; and sisters, MaeBelle Coussens, Marie Fabacher, and Margarete Baskin. Mary was a joy to be around, lighting a room up wit her smile. She reflected the radiance of Jesus Christ as she was a lifetime Christian. She accepted Jesus Christ into her heart as a young girl and in years to come became a faithful member of Trinity Baptist Church and West Mobile Baptist Church in Mobile, AL. In earlier years, Mary was a banker at First Alabama Bank and later worked in bookkeeping and payroll at a local dentist office. As she retired, she spent her time with many church friends going on trips, out to eat, and in the church kitchen. Mary loved to help and cook, always giving a helping hand in anything and everything. She had a big heart and would help anyone. Mary was the oldest member of West Mobile Baptist and everyone loved Mrs. Henderson. She loved her family and friends very much. Mary is survived by her grandsons, Tony & Jonah Tingle (Candice) of Mobile, AL; granddaughters, Cristina Ely (Steven) of Baton Rouge, LA, and Kimberly Keel of Mobile, AL; great-grandchildren, Alexis, Will, Dominik, Gianna, Michael, Ashanté, Karley, Gunner, and Madisyn; one-and-only great-great-grandchild, Dolly; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Mary will be laid to rest in Serenity Memorial Gardens.
