Henrietta Murray

On May 15, 2024 Henrietta Lynn Murray passed away from a terminal illness. She is survived by her parents, Ben and Maria (Trussville) along with her older sister Ann Shepard, grandparents Bob and Betsy Murray (Trussville), and Nancy Stokes (Prattville), as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. She is preceded in death by her grandfather Mark Stokes.

Born on January 4, 2013 in Birmingham, AL. Henrietta loved spending time with her friends and family, particularly during holidays and while traveling. She enjoyed fashion, dancing, arts and crafts, and singing. Her favorite week of the year was spent each summer at Hope Heals Camp where every person is seen and viewed in the image of Christ.

Henrietta was an encouragement to many, always looking for something grand and adventurous; she never settled for less than best. She had a big personality and a heart of love and grace. Despite numerous physical challenges, Henrietta lived a life filled with compassion, resilience, and unwavering determination, inspiring everyone fortunate enough to know her. She possessed a rare ability to bring joy to those around her, often through her infectious laughter and vivacious spirit, always seeing past physical and cognitive differences to the heart of the individual. Henrietta had a natural gift for connecting with others and making everyone feel valued and appreciated.

We rejoice in knowing that Henrietta is no longer suffering and rest in the hope we have knowing we will see her again.

A celebration of life will be held at Christ Church PCA in Trussville on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 3pm with visitation from 1-2:30. Donations may be made in her honor to hopeheals.com
