Late Chris Henderson’s daughter Claire Henderson has sadly passed away. She died leaving behind her beloved daughters, siblings who will forever miss her.
The news was confirmed through a post that reads “As most of you know I lost my dear friend Claire Phillips Henderson this week to mental illness. She lost her husband a few years ago and now their beautiful girls are left without parents.”
Claire Henderson was the kind of woman whose warmth and kindness lit up every room she entered. A loving wife, devoted mother, and loyal friend, she had an infectious personality that made everyone around her feel cared for and supported.
Her laugh was contagious, her smile never far from her face, and her heart was always open to those she loved. But despite her outward joy, Claire’s life was marked by heartbreak and struggles that few could imagine.
Three years ago, Claire’s world was shattered when her husband, Chris Henderson, tragically took his own life. The devastating loss left Claire to navigate the overwhelming grief while also assuming the role of both mother and father to their two young daughters, Lane and Lauren.
The two girls, who had once relied on both parents for guidance and love, suddenly found themselves in a world where their father was gone, and their mother was now carrying the weight of raising them alone.
Though Claire faced unimaginable heartache, she was a woman of remarkable strength and resilience. Despite the profound sadness that marked her life after Chris’ death, she continued to pour herself into her daughters’ well-being. She became the pillar of love and stability for Lane and Lauren, always ensuring they had what they needed emotionally, mentally, and physically.
A GoFundMe has been set up to “Please support Lane and Lauren Henderson”. A statement from the account says “We are reaching out with heavy hearts to share the devastating story of two beautiful girls from Aledo, Texas who have recently experienced another unimaginable loss.
