Our dear mother, Lenore C. Henricks, 88, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 12, 2006 at the Grandview Christian Home in Cambridge,
Minn.

She was born on March 23, 1917 to William and Clara (Schmidt) Schlipp of rural east Isanti. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John Lutheran Church of Weber.

Before marriage she worked as a household helper to families in Isanti, North Branch (Mr. and Mrs. Herb Bloom who were owners of a dry goods store on main street.) and Minneapolis.

In June 1936 she married William Henricks at her parentsí farm in an outdoor lawn ceremony. They made farming their life in rural west North Branch. Lenore worked for some years at Green Acres Nursing Home in North Branch as a kitchen aide and cook. Her greatest concerns were the health and happiness of her family, and she valued kindness and understanding above all.

She would wish us to remember the many wonderful caregivers and residents of her longtime home at Grandview Christian Home.
