Obituary for Michael Henderson
Henderson, Michael James. January 18, 1946 – November 24, 2019.
Michael wanted to remain at his home for the final stage of his life
and succeeded in so doing. He died at the home he built in St Andrews
on November 24, 2019 with his family by his side.
He is survived by his wife Wendy (Burnett), son Cory, daughter-in-law
Elizabeth, granddaughters Sydney, Brooke and Olive and cousin Mary
(Henderson) Madill.
Michael started work as a carpenter, moving on to Lake Utopia Paper as
an operator then superintendent of the pulp mill. After retiring he
really started having fun contracting building projects including
serving as chair of the Fundy Discovery Aquarium at Huntsman.
He loved the game of golf and served as director of the Algonquin Golf
Club and as a board member of the NB Golf Association. A highlight of
his day often was spending time with his son either in his home office
or the Hendershop. Eventually he was blessed with a daughter-in-law
and granddaughters with whom he cherished every moment. Most of all
Michael loved spending time with his wife. He also had more good
friends than any man deserves.
A celebration of Michael’s life will be held on Saturday,
November 30th, 2019 at Humphrey’s Funeral Home, 20 Marks Street,
St Stephen, NB from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
The family would like to thank everyone at the St Andrews Health
Center and the Extra-Mural nurses who cared for Michael. Their support
was outstanding.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Charlotte County Cancer Society
or NB Extra-Mural Program would be appreciated. Online condolences to
the family or donations can be made at www.humphreysfh.com.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Michael Henderson 2019..
