Martha Henderson

November 5, 1964 — November 27, 2024

Ms. Martha Mary Henderson was born on November 5, 1964, in Long Beach, California. She was the youngest of four children born to proud parents Tom Eddie and Fannie Mae Henderson; both preceded her in death. Martha continued to reside in Long Beach. She attended John Muir Elementary School, then went onto Stephens Middle School, and graduated from Millikan High School. While at Millikan High School, Martha also participated in ROTC. Martha would go onto pursue higher education at Long Beach City College.

Martha first pursued a career at Long Beach City Parks, Recreation and Marine. Her final employment was at the Long Beach City Police Department, as a Cross Guard. After many years at this profession, she was unable to return to work due to a medical illness. 

Martha enjoyed reading, art, and crafts. But more importantly, her greatest passion was meeting and interacting with people. Martha was a quiet and well reserved person; but never shy.

On November 27, 2024, the Lord called his good and faithful servant home. Martha leaves with the greatest treasure, her memories. She leaves behind her love through her sister Anne (Andrew), brother Tom Jr.; niece Tammie; great niece Dominique; great nephew Robert; great-great nieces Amya, Naleisja; great-great nephew Cory, and host of cousins and friends.
