It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Lorena (Lori) Valdez Henderson, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend to all who were fortunate enough to know her. She peacefully entered her eternal rest at her home in Houston, Texas on October 3, 2022 at the age of 51.
Lori had a beautiful devotion to her family and friends. She was always ready for an adventure and was a great travel companion. You could often find her dancing around her kitchen to George Strait songs. She was a loving wife and best friend to John Henderson for over 20 years.
Lori was a longtime resident of Houston, Texas where she raised her children and nurtured her family. She is survived by her parents Sergio Valdez and Josephine Valdez; her three children, Amber Saldivar, Ashley Saldivar and John Connor Henderson; her three grandchildren, Kayleen, Royce and Arabella; her brother Sergio; and sisters Sandra, Christina, Nelly, Isabel and Marcella; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews. She was lovingly known as “Momo” to her grandchildren.
