Obituary
Wesley Henderson, age 72, of Statenville, Georgia passed away on August 18, 2014 at Holly Hill Nursing Home in Valdosta where he has been a resident for the past twenty years. He was born in Echols County to the late Ferman and Annie Jane Everett Henderson on November 4, 1941. He graduated from Echols County High School and worked for Occidental (PCS) until he became disabled and entered the nursing home. He was also a former employee at Owens Illinois in Clyattville, GA. Wesley was a well respected County Commissioner in Echols County for twelve dedicated years. He loved any part of farming and especially enjoyed driving his tractor. He loved raising pigs and had hogs in a pen close to his house so that he could care for them. He always talked about getting back home and riding his tractor and had quite a collection of tractors in his room. Wesley was a member of the Statenville Church of God and dreamed of going back and worshipping there with his friends. Most of all he loved his Lord and always witnessed to anyone who came in contact with him. He loved his family, especially his niece, Rebecca Chambers. She was the apple of his eye. He looked forward to the Sunday afternoon visits with his family and friends.
Wesley is survived by two sisters and their husbands, Annie Jo and Albert Chambers of Statenville and Glynda and Ira Lavinsky of Adel; niece, Rebecca Chambers; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. The Lillian Barfield family was an extended family to Wesley and they shared many happy memories growing up on Bay Branch Road.
The family would like to say a special "Thank You" to the staff of Holly Hill Nursing Home for the years of love and care they extended to Wesley and the family.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at the Statenville Church of God. Interment followed at Statenville Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Statenville Church of God, P.O. Box 193, Statenville, GA. 31648.
