Dawn Elizabeth Henry

Dawn Elizabeth Henry, 48, of Franklinton, passed away April 3, 2018, surrounded by her family. She was born in Macon, Illinois on September 27, 1969.

Dawn was a loving wife and mother who enjoyed Caribbean cruises, reading, and most of all spending time with her family. She loved watching Brennan play football at South Granville High School and was excited about Abby's upcoming graduation from UNC Charlotte in May.  As the oldest of six, she mothered her siblings even in adulthood and adored them all.  She was an avid, yet a semi-successful gardener, having difficulty with the North Carolina red mud after many successful years in the Illinois dirt.  Her kindness, compassion, and contagious laugh will be missed by all who knew her.  

Visitation/viewing was held from 5:00-8:00 PM, Thursday evening, April 5, 2018 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, 2677 NC-56, Creedmoor, NC 27522.
