Henry, James Francis

James Francis Henry, 82 of Austinville, Virginia departed this life May 20, 2024 in this home. Born in Youngstown, Ohio on October 21, 1941 he was a son of the late Francis and Lucille Guillerey Henry.

For many years, James worked as a sales representative for Hartz Mountain. But the loves of his life were that of the family he built with his beloved wife Mary Ann Morrison Henry. The greatest of those being probably the cherished times with his grandchildren. A hardworking man, James also enjoyed the time he would spend toiling on his farm; and the memories that would create for all. James also enjoyed the carefree breezes and relaxation only sailing could bring. In addition, he would enjoy the freedom, the sounds, and the joys that watching a Nascar race on a Sunday or any day could bring.

In addition to his parents, James is preceded in death by his beloved wife Mary Morrison Henry; sons, Gregory Clutter, and Richard Clutter; sister, Nadine Norton; and sister-in-law, Jocelyn Henry.

Left to cherish his memory to their hearts are his daughters, Ruth Ann Brown, Suzanne Doherty, and Cynthia Kidd (Alan); son, Douglas Clutter (Jenny); the pride and joy of his life, his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a special great-grandchild; a brother, John Henry; sister, Nancy Haraburda; and many nieces and nephews.

There will be no services at this time for Mr. Henry. A guestbook is available to send condolences to the family by visiting www.kendallfuneralhome.com. The staff of Kendall Funeral Home are honored to serve the Henry family.
