With Grace and Dignity, Henry Celebrates 90 Years

Surrounded by seven of her eight children, Eldora ("Dora") Henry was the guest of a party in honor of her 90th birthday on Sat., October 22nd, at the VFW. The children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-great-grandchildren flocked "home" to honor their mom with other family, friends, and guests.

Dora's birthday is October 29th and they know how to express their love from any state. Steve (& Judy) came from Billings, daughter, Linda, came from Helena, and daughter, Karen Cribley, made the trek from Virginia.

Son, Bill and Marilyn joined the group from Havre, as did son, Art and Sandy. Daughter, Cheryl came from Laurel, and daughter Teresa came from Choteau. Only one son, Roger, was unable to be here; he lives in Indiana. Seven out of eight – those are pretty good odds. The Henrys lost two daughters, who passed away, Shirley and foster daughter Beverly Winkle.

Eldora and her late husband, Elmer, have eight children, 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Dora still lives alone and travels here and there with family and friends. A lady who brightens a room when she walks in, Dora has definitely got the upper hand on aging with grace; she has plans and ideas and will carry on for many years with all the love she is surrounded with. Happy 90th birthday, Miss Dora.
