Lutricia Marie

Hopings

Lutricia Marie Henson, 52, was born in Toledo, Ohio, at Toledo Hospital on March 14, 1974. She attended Gunkel Elementary and graduated from Libbey High School in the Class of '92. She accepted God into her life at an early age and was baptized by her great-great-uncle, Reverend James Awls Sr., at True Light Pencoastle Church alongside her siblings. She sang in the choir and served as a junior usher, which she loved.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother who loved playing games and spending as much time with her family as possible. She would give them the world if she could. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing basketball, playing dominoes, playing spades, playing her numbers, and especially scratching scratch-off tickets. She was always so lucky and blessed that she would win something and would say, "I won on this one, Diamond," who was her loving husband.

She was always a loving person who would give to anyone in need without hesitation. She was the Purple Butterfly, and we had to let her spread her wings and fly.

She was preceded in death by her father, Willie Howard Jr.; her sister, Arletha Oliver; her grandfather, John Oliver; and her grandmother, Thelma Oliver.

She is survived by Patricia Henson; her children, Claudette Hopings and Shawntia Henson; her grandchildren, l'Lajiaa Hopings, Madison Higgs, Erica Campbell, and Emoni Campbell; and her siblings. Her four brothers are Ben "Skeeter" Henson (Michelle Henson), Darnell Henson (Ladi), Donald "Ducky" Henson (April Henson), and Anthony "Scoop" Willams. Her three sisters are Sheila Henson, Arletha Oliver, and Katina Willams.
