Claire Allison Henderson

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Claire Allison Henderson on November 21, 2024. Claire was born on May 25, 1976 in Arlington, Texas to Britt and Janet Phillips. 

After graduating from Lamar High School in 1994, Claire attended the University of Oklahoma where she was a Kappa Alpha Theta. After a career in pharmaceutical sales, Claire married Chris Henderson. They have two beautiful daughters; Lane Louise (11) and Lauren Mae (5). Lane and Lauren were Claire’s greatest treasures, and being their mom was her proudest accomplishment. Claire found true joy and purpose loving and celebrating her girls. 

Claire was a beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. She touched the lives of everyone she knew with her warmth and kindness. Claire’s beautiful smile and laughter were contagious. She was able to light up a room with her inviting spirit that made others feel so loved and welcome. She had the memory of an elephant and an incredible eye for detail. Claire was trustworthy, loyal, and witty. 

Most importantly, Claire had a strong Christian faith and a deep love for Jesus. There is no doubt that she is in heaven for all eternity with her Savior. Despite her recent struggles, her faith never wavered. 

Claire was preceded in death by her mother, Janet Phillips, and her husband, Chris Henderson. Claire is survived by her two daughters, Lane and Lauren Henderson; father, Britt Phillips; brother, Brandon Phillips and wife, Tiffany; father-in-law, Jim Henderson; brother-in-law, Jim Henderson and wife, Jennifer; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. 

A celebration of Claire’s life will be held at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, December 4th at 1:00. 

Claire is unforgettable and will be forever missed.
