Announcing with deep sadness the peaceful passing of Anna E. Henry, April 16, 2021.
Born Anna Elouise Fitzner, July 15, 1934 in Flint. She grew up and graduated high school in Port Huron. She was united in marriage to Jack W. Henry on September 29, 1956. He preceded her in death on April 11, 2003.
Except for this last year in Florida and a short time in Cleveland after high school, Anna spent her whole life between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. She loved spending time at the family farm outside of Port Huron.
While raising her family in Imlay City and Cadillac, she enjoyed golfing, figure skating and continuing her education at local community colleges. She played bridge and bowled on many leagues well into her 80 s where she made many lasting friendships. Anna was a fixture at Chemical Bank and local Bridal Shops for many years; she also worked, briefly, at Mid-State Fruit Co.

”Lewis Scott’s freedom marks the loss of mine.” The original attack was in 2007. She thought it was a business meeting. Instead he attacked. Initially she was too traumatized to go to the police. Then she saw an article on Stuff about Scott raping another woman in his shop Kwanzaa on Manners St and decided to go to the police.
