\n\t Patricia \u201cPat\u201d (Burnison) Henry, 73, died Oct. 2, 2020, in at her home in Wolf Point.
\n\t She was born Aug. 20, 1947, in Wolf Point to Lowell and Wylma (Kennedy) Burnison. She was raised in Wolf Point and graduated from high school in 1965.
\n\t While in high school, she met William \u201cBill\u201d Henry, who was in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Glasgow Air Force Base. They were married Oct. 7, 1965, in Rapid City, S.D. The couple returned to Montana, living on the Air Force Base in Glasgow until Bill\u2019s enlistment was completed. They then moved to Ellendale, N.D., where Bill attended college, later returning to Wolf Point where they remained. They had two sons, Billy and Jason.
\n\t She enjoyed being around others and helping younger people. While Bill worked at the U.S. Post Office in Wolf Point, she stayed home raising their two boys. She enjoyed helping her aunt Florence \u201cBabe\u201d Burnison at the Kiddie Korner Kindergarten, a private kindergarten where, during that time, many youngsters started their schooling in Wolf Point.
\n\t She and Bill encouraged their sons to be involved in sports and would follow them through their high school sporting years. Bill became active in the Wolf Point summer youth baseball program. While Bill would be coaching or on the field with the players, she would be busy putting rosters together, conducting fundraisers and running the concession stands. For about 20 years, their summer was \u201cbaseball.\u201d
\n\t She eventually joined the staff at the Wolf Point School System working as an aide wherever she was needed and stayed with the school system until Bill became ill in 2000, at which time Pat left her fulltime position at the school to care for him. She continued to stay by his side, caring for him until his death in 2014.
\n\t She returned to work at the Wolf Point School System until her retirement. She thoroughly enjoyed the students and fellow staff.
\n\t She enjoyed her grandchildren, who would stay many a summer with her in their younger years. Pat also loved her furry companion \u201cMisty Sue\u201d, walking her faithfully, in all kinds of weather, up and down Sixth Avenue North.
\n\t She enjoyed being part of her community, supporting many groups and loved \u201cWolf Point.\u201d She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church, Order of Eastern Star and Optimist Club of Wolf Point and always looked forward to time with her many dear friends for a game of dominoes, Scrabble or book club. She also served as a trustee on the county library board. She was an avid reader and would read for hours.
\n\t She is survived by her sons, Bill Henry, of Vancouver, Wash., and Jason Henry of Great Falls; brother, Robert \u201cBob\u201d Burnison of Sidney; and three grandsons.
\n\t A memorial service will be planned when we are all able to gather and celebrate her life. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel was in charge of the arrangements. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"news-destination":[14],"news-source":[11],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24744,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584\/revisions\/24744"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24584"},{"taxonomy":"news-destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-destination?post=24584"},{"taxonomy":"news-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-source?post=24584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
