Vuree Henderson

Vuree (PaPa) Henderson, Sr., went home to be with the Lord, Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Vuree Henderson was born on December 31, 1927 in Opelika, Alabama to William and Julina Henderson.
He was united in marriage in 1949 to Ella Vester Harvey. To this union, two children were born: Janice Davis and Vuree Hender- son, Jr. They moved to Middletown, Ohio in 1952 and joined Tried Stone Baptist Church, formerly known as Friendship Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Herbert Hart. He was a faithful member of Tried Stone Baptist Church where he was the Sunday School Superintendent, Trustee, Church Treasurer and a member of the Male Chorus. He started his career with Armco Steel Company where he retired after 30 faithful years.
