Name:
Mildred Maxine Henager
Mt. Carmel, IL
Many knew her as their friend. Thousands knew her as their P.E or Music Teacher. Hundreds knew her as their choir director at First General Baptist Church, but more importantly to her was the fact that all knew her as one who loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On May 16, 2012, following a long battle with Alzheimer's, Mildred Maxine Henager passed away at Oakview Heights Continuous Care & Rehab in Mt. Carmel, IL. Mildred was born on January 5, 1924 in Petersburg, IN, the daughter of Millage and Fern (Carter) Winkler. She is survived by her husband and best friend, Paul Henager. They were married on December 28th, 1944, while Paul was home for a short leave during World War II. Also surviving are their four children, son Paul Alan Henager (Ruth Ann), daughter Myra Webb (Gary), daughter Melody Glick (friend Denny Martz), and son Gregg Henager (Yvette), eight grandchildren, Eric Henager (Alicia), Aaron Henager (Malissa), Curtis Webb (Hillary Seaton), Heather Kirchoff (Brian), Travis Glick (Jenn), Darin Glick, Danielle Trapp (Bob), and Kylee Henager; and brother, Ray Winkler. Paul and Mildred are also blessed with 13 great grandchildren. Mildred was preceded in death by her parents; son, Kenneth Henager; infant granddaughter, Tawni Jo Henager; and two sisters, Faye Evans and Mary Ellen Nelson. Mildred will be remembered for her love of life, her practical jokes, and her ability to laugh at herself.
