It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pauline Henderson. Born on September 7, 1938, Pauline departed from this life on November 27, 2024. Pauline leaves behind a cherished family that includes her beloved 7 children; daughters Fredericka Sneed(Michael), Paula Dumas-Brown ( Ray)and Pauline Dumas (Bolo), and sons Paul Williams, Jiles Dumas, Bursha Dumas(Connie), and Frederick Dumas (Lori ). She was predeceased by her spouse, Frederick Smith, her husband, John Henderson, her son, Pierre Williams, and her brothers, Jack, Eugene and Bursha Dumas. Throughout her life, Pauline was deeply committed to her faith and cherished her time as an attendee at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness. She also took great satisfaction in her volunteer work with Senior Living Options, and on the board of her children’s school’s exhibiting her kind-hearted and selfless spirit. Pauline was a woman of many passions; she relished okra and tomatoes and found comfort in sipping ice cold Vernor’s ginger ale. She found solace in The Bible, her favorite book, and drew joy from the music, particularly the Kingdom songs . She was a dedicated viewer of NBC's daily news and was captivated by movies such as Jurassic Park. She was a supporter of the Cleveland Browns and enjoyed a good game of Gin Rummy. In her leisure time, she loved visiting Kent or country farms to visit friends and was fond of watching videos on Jw.org. Despite her playful claim of disinterest in exercise, she enjoyed vacationing at Bethel in New York. Green was her favorite color (frog collector)a testament, perhaps, to her vibrant and energetic personality that those close to her lovingly described as 'spoiled'. She was passionately devoted to causes such as spreading the truth from The Bible, a testament to her deep faith. Pauline's legacy to her family and the lessons she instilled in them are deeply rooted in her faith. "God’s kingdom is real," she would often say. One of her greatest accomplishments, which she held near to her heart till her last breath, was raising eight beautiful children. In response to Pauline's parting, her family and friends unite in saying "Do your best, and have unconditional love. Her vibrant spirit, unwavering faith, will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
