Mary Henson Warren, age 79, passed away peacefully March 30, 2019 at Clay County hospital. She was born 1939 in Clay County, Alabama to Louis and Lula (Johnson) Henson.
Mary loved to love on people. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana.
She was the owner of All American Gun Traders in Ashland, Alabama. For many years Mary volunteered at the Helping Hands ministry in Ashland. It suited her servant heart.
Her life was a living example of her favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 — “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”
She is preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Olene Griffin, Mamie Roberts, Dot Roberts, Howard Henson, and Ed Henson.
