While it’s difficult to lose a loved one on Thanksgiving, we must remember the fact that Henderson lived her life to the fullest.  Florence was born on February 14, 1934 in Indiana.  Similar to the Bradys, the actress’ family was large.  She was the youngest of 10 children.

Henderson’s career on Broadway started in the 1950s, making her debut in the musical Wish You Were Here.  In 1969 she stole our hearts as Carol Brady.  Over the years, the singer and actress has appeared in numerous cooking and variety shows.

Gone but not forgotten, although we are apart, God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.


Rest in peace.
