Barbara was a beautiful, gracious woman whose lifelong interests included a love for reading, good music, playing bridge, travel, dancing, entertaining in her home and active correspondence with distant family and friends. She loved life and wanted to try it all.
She had a great desire to learn all she could about everything. She set the bar high and aspired to the excellent and beautiful. She loved the classics - symphonies, ballet, lectures, movies. Adventurous, courageous, fearless, fun, Barbara was an energetic woman who loved spending time with family and friends.
She was a devoted wife, a generous and loving mother to her children and a faithful friend to many. Her ready smile, her sweetness, her wit, her sparkling blue eyes and her concern for others will be missed.
She was a member of St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church and was blessed by the ministry and fellowship she received there.
She is survived by three daughters, Barbara Roberts and husband, Walter, and Mary Jernigan and husband, Barcus, all of Lake Charles, and Linda Catalano (formerly Weeks) and husband, Pete, of Lafayette; one sister, Mary Johnson, of Kerrville, Texas; eight grandchildren, Bill Roberts, Christy Moreau, Greg Gill, Gordon Gill, Edward Jernigan, Ginny Jernigan, Amy Mutscher and Whitney Weeks; and five great-grandchildren, Burnham and Margaret Roberts, Katelyn and Megan Gill and Cade Mutscher.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, A.B. "Beechie" Henshaw; her parents, Charles and Frances Allen; a daughter, Frances Gill; and her brothers, Ned, Tim, Bill and Phil Allen.
The family remembers with gratitude the innumerable kindnesses of all who have assisted in so many ways. Especially appreciated are the long term loving services of caregivers Josephine Abassi, Dana Daigle, Lenora Frank, Jerry Landry and Lena Basile.
