Obituary:
Doris Florence Wolford Heninger "When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!" This is a line from our mother's favorite Hymn, How Great Thou Art. She has been freed from her ravaged mortal shell, returned to her heavenly family, and reunited with Dad.
Doris was born November 9, 1929 to H. Lloyd and Lucille Lamoreaux Wolford. She was a bundle of red-haired fun that blessed their home. Having one younger and two older brothers, she grew up tough and quick-witted. She did eventually learn to love and appreciate them.
One has preceded her in death, Dale (and spouse Jo), but survived by Don (Janet) and Darwin (Julie). She married Harold Charles Heninger on August 4, 1950 in the Logan LDS Temple. He passed away June 3, 2006. Their union produced three daughters: Kathy Heninger, DeAnn Johnson, and Alison (Stan) Bodily. Eventually six perfect grandchildren joined the family: David (Ashley) Johnson, Meghan (Ryan) Gudmundson, Ivy (Greg) Palmer, Kevin and Trevor Bodily, and Elder Justin C. Bodily (Morristown New Jersey Mission).
Those that knew her, knew she lived very close to the Spirit. The blessings of the Gospel were abundant in her heart and testimony, even though she endured many years of pain and discomfort. She rarely complained but often expressed her appreciation for being trusted with her various trials.
She was a faithful servant in her many callings in the LDS Church. Her favorite was Primary Chorister and each of her three daughters had the opportunity to be her accompanist. She loved children and she loved music so this was the perfect element for her. In her later years, she was called to be Relief Society President of the Sunshine Terrace Branch. She was terrified and shared her concerns with the Bishop. He replied that a person needed just three qualities for this position: a testimony of the Gospel, genuine compassion for the elderly, and a sense of humor. His opinion was that she was over-qualified! She went on to serve for several years in that capacity.
She also took her civic duties very seriously whether it was standing by her husband as he first ran for city council and then Mayor, or when she sat in front of a bull dozer that the city had sent to build a road through a park in our neighborhood. The next day, her picture was on the front page of the local newspaper depicting her being removed from the top of the dirt pile by several nice law enforcement officials. (Note: The road never was finished! It comes to a nice dead-end at the canal in Lundstrom park.)
Mom had many talents, but she often expressed dismay that she hadn't crafted quilts and the like for her posterity. She was of the opinion that her obituary would be quite bland, lacking the tributes that she often read about in other women's histories.
Well, she may have left no quilts behind, but instead something more precious and everlasting, a tapestry of life lessons such as: "One can never have too many purses, shoes, or pictures of grandchildren." "It's ok to re-use toilet paper after gathering it from the yard, as long as it's used to TP someone else's house." "We must fight a good fight." "It's a great life, if you don't weaken." "Pain, affliction, and suffering are necessary, but misery is optional."
Her "Club" brought her great joy through the years as this group of genuine friends have met at least once a month every year since graduating from Logan High School in 1948. In the end, the family she served so well had the privilege to serve her.
Her most faithful caretaker was her granddaughter, Ivy. Thanks also to Alpine Home Health Care (Sue Sadler, Stacey Crandell and Melinda Ward), the staff at Legacy House, Dr. Kevin Duke, and the staff at IHC's ICU for allowing her to live out her days in comfort with the assurance of capable medical care. Join us as we celebrate her life of love, laughter, and service Tuesday, June 23 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 East Center, or Wednesday, June 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Lundstrom Park Ward building, 1260 North 1600 East Logan. The funeral will take place there at noon. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation or the LDS Missionary fund. And, for one final time: "BINGO!" Mom, you're a winner!
