Danny proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1956 to 1959. He later worked at Chrysler as an inspector, where his dedication and reliability were evident throughout a 34-year career before his retirement.

A devoted family man, Danny cherished time spent with loved ones and the simple traditions that became lasting memories. He went to breakfast every Tuesday with his granddaughter Andrea, and Fridays were spent with his granddaughter Carrie; a routine that they will cherish forever.

Danny’s adventurous spirit showed in the things he enjoyed most—hunting, fishing, and camping. He especially treasured Saturdays spent shooting guns with his son Terry. Known as someone who could build anything, Danny took pride in working with his hands and was actively building a train set. At home, he delighted in feeding squirrels out of his hand, especially his favorite squirrel George. He spent countless weekends playing euchre with Kenny and Mylinda.

Danny was preceded in death by his father Wilbur Deeter; his mother Jean Mitchell; his son Rickey Deeter; his brothers Jim Deeter and Butch Deeter; and his sister Cindy Deeter.

Kimberly found happiness in everyday moments. She loved listening to Johnny Cash and singing along to her favorite songs, spending time coloring page after page with care, and writing her thoughts, notes, and doodles in her notebook. Wherever she went, there was almost always a Diet Coke nearby - one of her favorite comforts that never failed to make her smile.

Kimberly proudly participated in the Special Olympics, where she enjoyed being active, spending time with others, and sharing in the joy of competition and friendship. She also worked for many years at Bona Vista, where she spent time with friends and coworkers who became an important part of her life.

Kimberly enjoyed living at the group home, where she made many friends and stayed busy with activities she loved. She looked forward to dances, cookouts, and gatherings, and she enjoyed being surrounded by people who cared about her. The friendships she made there brought her happiness and a strong sense of belonging.

Her last years were spent at Waterford Place, where she continued to share her kindness with everyone around her. Kim loved to color pictures and would make one for anyone who stopped in to say hi. These small gifts were her way of showing friendship, and they meant so much to those who received them.

She is survived by her mother Lucretia Bassett; her sisters Sandy Absher (Rod) and Patty Jennings; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins who will remember her with love. She was preceded in death by her father Kenneth Henderson; her stepfather Kenneth Bassett; her sister Cathie Huskins; and her stepsister Patty James.

The family gives their sincere thanks to Waterford Place for the excellent care and kindness Kim received over the years. A special thank you is also given to her roommate Marcia for her friendship and companionship.

She will be remembered for her calm presence, her creativity, her love of music, and the way she could sit peacefully for hours coloring, writing, or singing along to Johnny Cash. Those who knew Kimberly will always hold close the memory of her quiet joy and the warmth she brought into their lives.

Kimberly Sue Henderson will be dearly missed, forever remembered, and always loved.
