<!-- FH = Asheville Area Alternative -->CAROL HENRYASHEVILLE - Carol Henry's strong, loving heart stopped beating at dawn on Sunday, March 4, 2012. Her spirit is with us still.Her spirit blooms in the Hudsonia montana, a rare wildflower on a craggy outcropping now protected thanks to her keen eye.Her spirit offers a firm foundation for hundreds of people in Mitchell and Yancey County - she was a founder of Mitchell-Yancey County Habitat for Humanity, and the Stitch and Chat group that gathered around her table has raised more than $25,000 by selling colorful patchwork potholders.Her spirit lingers in the mind's eyes of hundreds of now-grown Spruce Pine Montessori kids. With Ms. Carol's gentle guidance they learned to sound out words, recognize trees, sing songs, and make new friends.Her spirit sings with the Celo Sacred Harpers. Her title is clear and she's homeward bound.Her spirit fills the hearts of her family and a multitude of friends. Celebrating her loving spirit are her four daughters (Linda Henry, Nancy Raskin, Janet Henry, and Cindy McMahon) and their families (Bob and Emma Snope; Randy, Lane, and Evan Raskin; Matt Revis; and John, Caleb, and Katie McMahon) as well as her brother Walter Moore, Jr., his wife Marian Moore and their children and grandchildren.In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Mitchell-Yancey Habitat for Humanity, P.O. Box 409, Micaville, NC 28755. A memorial service will be held at the Celo Friends Meeting at a later date.
