of Plano, TX

August 22, 1944 - June 10, 2024

Carolyn Aline Reedy McHenry (affectionately known as Mawmaw), aged 79, of Plano, Texas peacefully passed away to her eternal home on Monday, June 10, 2024. Born on August 22, 1944 in Conway, Arkansas, she was the cherished daughter of Clarence Henry Reedy and Eunice Mae Bush Reedy.

Carolyn attended Conway High School and proudly graduated in 1962. That same year, her and Joe McHenry, a fellow Conway native, were married. Together, they welcomed two children into their lives, Dee Ann and Mark. In 1966, they embarked on a new chapter, relocating to Garland, Texas.

After the family moved to Texas, Carolyn held many jobs from her days at Fotomat to her tenure as a fitness instructor and manager of a dress shop, but her favorite job was taking care of her family and raising her kids. Carolyn loved traveling, indulging in shopping excursions and above all, cherishing precious moments with her loved ones, especially her adored grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart. She loved unconditionally and accepted all people and welcomed their differences.

Carolyn's love language was gift giving, and she loved to share her many blessings with those around her.

Carolyn is preceded in death by her parents, Clarence Henry Reedy and Eunice Mae Bush Reedy, as well as her siblings, J H Reedy, Vancel Paul Reedy, Betty Sue Reedy Linn and their respective spouses.

She is survived by her devoted sister, Reva Jo Reedy Braley Hayes and husband, Bill Hayes of Conway, Arkansas; her loving daughter, Dee Ann McHenry Poteet of Plano, Texas; her adoring son, Mark McHenry, and wife, Traci McHenry of McKinney, Texas; her grandchildren, Dalton Poteet and wife, Megan Poteet of Fate, Texas, Rylee McHenry and Ryan McHenry of Plano, Texas; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate nurses and aides of Settlers Ridge Memory Care Center for their tender care. They also express deep appreciation to Carolyn's lifelong friends, Sharon Smith, Kay Cardin and Lena Fulmer, whose enduring friendship remained steadfast since elementary school.

Visitation will be held at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home on Friday, June 14, 2024 from 6 pm to 8 pm. A graveside service will follow at Crestlawn Cemetery at 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 15, 2024.

In honor of Carolyn's memory, donations may be made to a charity of choice.
