Howard Hendricks Jr.

Mr. Howard Hendricks Jr., age 89, of Cartersville, passed away Wednesday, February 24, 2016. Mr. Hendricks was born on June 28, 1926 in White, GA., a son of the late Howard Hendricks Sr. and Flonnie Bell Hendricks.

Mr. Hendricks proudly served in the United States Army and later went on to retire from Union Carbide. He was of the Baptist faith and a very dedicated member of Tabernacle Baptist Church. Mr. Hendricks was known as a handy man who could fix anything. He spent a lot of his spare time working in his vegetable garden and sharing the fruits of his labor with those he loved. Mr. Hendricks could easily be described as a kind and humble man, but most importantly as a devout Christian, loving husband, devoted father, and wonderful grandfather. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Mr. Hendricks is survived by his loving wife of sixty six years, Marie Hendricks; daughter, Cathy Hendrix, husband Ricky, of Cartersville; two brothers, L.G. Hendricks of Rydal, and Brad Hendricks, wife Sharon, of Rydal; two grandchildren, Scott Hendrix, wife Kelley, and Anna Hagenau, husband Andy; three great-grandchildren, Parker Hendrix, Audrey Hagenau, and AC Hagenau; and a sister-in-law Betty Jo Hendricks. He is preceded in death by his brother Everett Hendricks and a special family friend Dot Dooley.
