Elizabeth “Liz” Dell Henson, 76, of Allen, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Born on July 9, 1948, in Huntsville, Texas, Liz was the daughter of James Earl Hensarling and Vivian Windham Hensarling. She graduated from Huntsville High School and went on to earn her degree in Education from Sam Houston State University.

Throughout her professional life, Liz dedicated herself to a variety of industries, including education, banking, and manufacturing. Most notably, she served as Executive Assistant to the CEO of Temple Inland Corporation until her retirement in 2012.

Liz was a devoted mother, a proud grandmother, and a beloved sister. She is survived by her son Kyle Henson and his wife Michelle; grandsons Hunter and Brian; and step-grandson Lucas. She is also survived by her daughter Donna Corley and her husband Nathan, and their children William, Ava, and Thomas. Liz is also survived by her sister, Earline Pritchard. She was preceded in death by her parents, James Earl and Vivian (Windham) Hensarling, and her sister Dorothy Messer.

Her family and friends will remember Liz for her warmth, humor, and kindness. She had a deep love for animals, especially cats—most recently, her beloved companion Snowball, who adopted her in 2018. Liz also loved traveling, with a special fondness for Caribbean cruises.

A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Matt’s Rancho Martinez in Allen, Texas. All who knew and loved Liz are welcome to attend.
