Karene Childress Henson Obituary

The passing of Karene Childress Henson of Roanoke, Alabama leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on April 27, 2026 at the age of 74. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Karene farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Karene is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her son Wesley Henson (Patty) of Madison, AL; her granddaughter Aubrey Henson; her siblings, Donna McCullough (Ron), George Childress (Mary Lynn) and Scott Childress (Anne); and her parents, Parker Childress and Ruth Carpenter Childress.
