Lurlie Jean Henderson, 69, of Fayetteville, Tennessee, was called home on Thursday, July 24, 2025, leaving behind a life well-lived and a legacy that cannot be measured in words alone. She was born in Lincoln County, Tennessee, on July 7, 1956, to the late B.H. and Alma Sue Fowler Henderson. She graduated from Central High School in 1974. Lurlie was a member of Neal’s Temple C.P. Church in America where she served as an usher. She was a true soldier for the Lord. Lurlie retired from Goodman/Daikin Manufacturing after 43 years of service.
