The Reverend
Frederick Orin Henderson
September 7, 1931 – April 6, 2021
After a long and exemplary life of pastoral ministry, The Reverend Frederick O. Henderson passed into eternity on the evening of April 6, 2021. Reverend Henderson is survived by his wife of seventy years, Glenna Joyce, by eight children: Ann, Eugene, Arthur, Jacqueline, James, Mark, Nancy and Deborah, and his brother Philip. While experiencing the natural process of grief, the family also expresses happiness that their Dad is relieved of the battle with Alzheimer's that hampered the last two years of his life. They express gratitude that "God sent one of the good ones to lead their family, that he modeled a life of character and commitment, and that he is now enjoying his place in Heaven." The Reverend Henderson was born on September 7, 1931 to Sewell and Hazel Henderson in Presque Isle, Maine. He served with distinction in the United States Army, and trained for ministry at Zion Bible College, formerly located in East Providence, RI. He pastored churches in Maine, New York and California before retiring with family in Chatham, NY. Plans for Frederick Henderson include receiving military honors and rest at Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, a memorial service at Calvary Assembly of God church in Stottville, NY, and a marker in the family plot in Presque Isle, ME.
