Obituary for Dana Marie Henderson
Dana Marie Henderson passed away peacefully on March 20, 2021 at Prisma Greenville Memorial
Hospital in Greenville S.C.
Dana was born in Greenwich CT on December 25, 1955 to James and Ann Aylward. She graduated
Greenwich High School in 1973. She was previously employed at State National Bank in Stamford CT
and AMAX in Greenwich CT
She is survived by her husband of 41 years David Henderson of Greenville SC ( formerly of Greenwich
CT), her sons Christopher of Greenville SC and Bryan (Whitley) of Yuma AZ. She also leaves behind her
sisters Debbie Nielson of Stamford CT , Diane Yelton of Milwaukee WI., Bonnie Summers of Norwalk
CT. and her brother Rick Summers of Old Greenwich CT. She also leaves behind 7 grandchildren, who
she adored.
Dana was predeceased by her mother Ann Summers, her father James Aylward, her step father Richard
Summers and her step mother Mary Jane Aylward as well as her sister Dawn Manis and most recently
her oldest son Michael Henderson.
Dana was always thought of as a loving, caring and compassionate woman that accepted the little things
in life as being most important, as was her devotion to family and friends. She loved music, an active
fireplace and her candles. Her greatest passion was her playing with her grandchildren and going to the
pool. Despite her mobility issues she would always engage to the best of her ability.
The family would like to thank NHC in Mauldin for their caring and compassionate care and the staff of
nurses and doctors at ICU Prisma Greenville Memorial for their professional and loving care during her
last hours.
A memorial service will take place for family and friends at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a memorial donation be made to the Wounded Warriors Project in
her name.
