Sandy Henderson 75, passed away Tuesday surrounded by family after a 5 year battle with dementia.
She was born on August 31, 1945 in Eugene, Oregon to Ernie and Donnis Danner. She attended North Eugene High School and the University of Oregon. She was the Secretary to the Dean of Health and Human Performance at Oregon State University for 23 years.
Sandy loved people, she was very social and always had a smile on her face and a hug to give. She enjoyed coupon shopping for years. She loved being able to donate school supplies to the local schools in Lebanon, pet food to the humane society, she sent boxes and boxes of supplies to the troops and always supported the Christmas toy programs in the area. She loved holding her semiannual famous garage sales in Lebanon and became friends with so many people through that.
She was an amazing grandmother that spent so much time with her grandchildren playing games, baking cookies and attending their sporting events. She always made them a priority in her life. She will be greatly missed by everyone.
She married Allen L Henderson on July 24, 1965 in Eugene Oregon. They raised three children in Corvallis, Oregon before moving to Lebanon, Oregon.
She is survived by her husband Allen Henderson of Albany, her son Brian Henderson of Salem, daughters Stacy (Steven) White of Palm City Florida, and Barb (Aaron) Rund of Albany. Mother Donnis Danner of Eugene, Sister Christine Lindner of Sausalito California, and brother Gary (Kate) Danner of Eugene. Grandson Parker Rund of Albany, Granddaughters Payton Rund of Redondo Beach, California and Sadie White of Palm City Florida. Many cousins,nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father Ernie Danner.
The family would like to thank her grandson Parker Rund and our amazing caregivers Virginia Sorenson, Kelly Soleman and Brenda Notman for everything they have done for mom during these last few years. We couldn't have had mom here at home with us without you!
Because Sandy had so many friends and touched so many people's lives we are hoping to have a celebration of life for her in the spring of 2021.
Donations in her name can be made to the charity of your choice or to Sandy's favorite charity Safehaven Humane Society. Online condolences may be posted at www.fisherfuneralhome.com.

Eulogy to Mom
So... I'm traveling back to Palm City Florida with Sadie and Steven after spending the week with my sister Barb Rund and her husband Aaron Rund (my BIL) in Oregon. Without them, my parents would've been separated and put in two different living scenarios. They took Mom and Dad into their home 3 yrs ago. Thankfully they were able to be side by side when Mom took her last breaths.
Their two beautiful children... my nephew
Parker( who looked after Mom and continues to do so for Dad ) and my niece Payton. Of course Dad and my brother Brian. The most bittersweet trip. Being that it's my first trip HOME without Mom being there to welcome us. We tried our best to honor her. Barb cooked every meal this week with Mom's recipes and all the love in her heart. I felt her presence everywhere. In the food, the laughter, the love between us, the fall leaves and even the silence that fell in between. I woke up each morning hours before everyone else. I sat with my thoughts and I recognized how much our Mom is embedded in all of our souls. She is the very heart and soul of all that she has left behind.There will never be a time or place that we will not miss her. Mom never had a bad word to say about anyone. She always looked for a kind word.
She was there for us always. Every baseball/softball game. Every dance/choir/concert. She never missed a single one. Boy Scout Den Mother/ Campfire leader....etc..
Mom took Barb and I when we were young on all of her Meals on Wheels deliveries. We learned very early in our lives to honor and respect those who had lost their voices/mobility. What a foreshadowing. I/we are so grateful for the many life lessons she has bestowed upon us. It is reflected in the lives of all she has touched. We could never have asked for a better example of what it means to be human/humane. Mom...I promise we will do our best to continue your legacy of kindness and citizenship.
Always in our hearts.
Sandra Lee Henderson you are and always will be the best Mom/ Grandma EVER. As Sadie says... Mars needs Moms.
