Many knew her as their friend. Thousands knew her as their P.E or Music Teacher. Hundreds knew her as their choir director at First General Baptist Church, but more importantly to her was the fact that all knew her as one who loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On May 16, 2012, following a long battle with Alzheimer's, Mildred Maxine Henager passed away at Oakview Heights Continuous Care & Rehab in Mt. Carmel, IL.
