Lorethia Jean Camp passed away in Shawnee, Oklahoma on Saturday, May 25, 2019, at the age of 85 years.

Jean was the daughter of John Duke Henderson and Icy Corene (Hayes) Henderson, born on November 27, 1933, in Holdenville, Oklahoma, where she was brought up and attended schools.

For the past 40 years, Jean has made her home in Atwood.
