Lowanna Ellery ‘Loddi’ Henderson

Lowanna Ellery Henderson, 60, “Loddi” to all who knew and loved her, passed from her earthly life Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

She was born Nov. 1, 1959, in Waterloo, Iowa, the daughter of the late Maurice Ivan Ellery and Sara Elizabeth Smith Schrader.

Loddi is survived by her husband, Albert Henderson; son, Nicholas Massengill; daughters, Elle Bryan and Laeken Faircloth (Zack); grandchildren, Savannah, Aubrey, Cali, Skylar, Corbin and Zayne; brother, Rocky Fields (Carolyn); sister, Charmin Vincent (Lee); and many nieces and nephews. Along with her husband, Loddi was co-owner of Affordable Gutters.

Many years ago, Loddi began three of her favorite roles, that of wife, mother and grandmother. With her strong will and willingness to work, Loddi was a great helpmate to Albert in their family life and in their business. Loddi enjoyed the simple things in life, but her greatest joy was family; her grandchildren being a shining light in her life. She loved gardening, the beach, boating and fishing. Her radiant smile and love of family will always be remembered.

The family will receive friends at 11 a.m., Monday, March 2, at Maple Hill Baptist Church with funeral services following at noon. The Rev. Micky Cox will conduct services. Burial will follow in Lanier and Meadows Cemetery.
