Dolly Louise Hensley

Dolly Louise Hensley, 91, of Corsicana, Texas, passed from this life on October 15, 2021. Dolly was born to John Lee Evans and Myrtle (Brabham) Evans, on August 3, 1930, in Akron, Ohio.

Dolly had many titles: To Fred she is “The love of his life.” To her children she is “The best Mom on the Planet.” To her grandchildren she is “Granny and a very competitive croquet player.” At the church she was “Sister Hensley.” To God, she is “His Faithful Daughter.” Dolly will be missed, of course… but we know she has a mansion in Heaven, preparing for her family reunion.
