Dolores A. Henderson

Dolores “Dee” A. Henderson, lovingly known as Dee, passed away on March 20, 2026.
She was born on July 10, 1934, in Flint, Michigan, and in 1960 made California her
home, where she built a full and meaningful life centered around family, friendship, and
community.
Dee had a strong work ethic and a vibrant spirit. She dedicated 28 years to TRW,
followed by 6 years with Geodynamics, and later spent 17 years with Enterprise Rent-A-
Car. Wherever she worked, she was known for her warmth, reliability, and the genuine
connections she formed with those around her.
A devoted member of P.E.O. since 1958, Dee was active in all aspects of the
Sisterhood. She was especially proud to have helped organize the SV Chapter in
Torrance, California, in 1970, and remained an engaged and valued member throughout
her life.
Dee embraced life with energy and joy. She loved biking, skiing, gardening, and
spending time creating handmade stamped cards with friends. Dancing was one of her
greatest passions — whether line dancing, clogging, round dancing, or swing — she
was always happiest when moving to music.
Above all, Dee cherished her family. She is survived by her son Rick (Katie), daughter
Deena (Steve), grandson Chris Henderson, granddaughters Jaime Bergin, Emily
Harrison, and Hannah Binkley, as well as five great-grandchildren. Her love for her
family was constant, and her presence will be deeply missed.
Dee will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, her joyful spirit, and the love
she shared so freely with everyone in her life. 

A Celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, with visitation from 9:00 - 11:00 am, and service beginning at 11:00 am at the Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene, with lunch provided.

A second celebration to gather with us in honoring and celebrating Dee on
Saturday, April 25th at 11:00 am at the Chart House, 231 Yacht Club Way, Redondo
Beach, CA.
