Wynona Henderson
Henrieville, Utah
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Wynona Goulding Henderson on July 6, 2024, at age 85 in Riverton. Wynona, beloved mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt, peacefully joined her loved ones who awaited her return. She was born October 21, 1938 in Henrieville to Kenneth Edwin and Elsie Quilter Middleton Goulding. She married Ernest Littlefield Henderson on October 17, 1957 in Henrieville. The marriage was solemnized on November 17, 1984 in the Jordan River Temple. He preceded her in death on January 15, 2015.
Wynona dedicated her life to family and home. Her kitchen was a place of warmth and comfort, where the aroma of fresh bread and cinnamon rolls greeted her family after school. Though she briefly worked outside the home to support her family, her heart was always with her loved ones. Later in life, she found joy working at Ruby’s Inn, where she delighted in connecting with people from around the world.
Devoted to service, Wynona was active in her community through the Lion’s Club and the Five Counties Association of Government. Her faith as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints guided her life, and she served diligently in various church callings.
Wynona had a remarkable memory for relationships and genealogy, often sharing stories of family connections with others. Her enduring love and forgiveness were evident in her marriage, which blossomed over 57 years despite early challenges.
Family was Wynona’s greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent together, from early family reunions to the final days of her life. Her legacy of love, tolerance, and service will forever inspire those who knew her.
She survived by her children: Dorsie (Kevin) Denny, Dallas Henderson, Wendy (Dan) Davis, Trish (Brian) Dixon, Lynne Granger, Mitchell (Pamela) Henderson; 22 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren; siblings: Kathryn (David) Pollock, and Robert “Dick” (Jane) Goulding; sister-in-law, Kathy Goulding.
Also preceded in death by her parents; granddaughters: Danielle DiSera and Logann Eagar; brothers: Kenneth Goulding Jr., Steven Goulding.
