Hilda Elena Henderson

In loving memory of Hilda Elena Henderson

Hilda Elena Henderson passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the age of 86.

Born on November 25, 1939, in Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela, Hilda was a very loving, caring, and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Emerson Francis Henderson; her son, Ross Carlos Henderson (partner, Claribel Alvarez); her daughters, Pamela Ann Timmons (husband, Jason Timmons) and Brenda Esther Bissinnar (husband, Joseph Bissinnar); and her cherished grandchildren, Brandon Bissinnar, Jose Henderson, and Emma Timmons.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Luis Felipe Parra Montiel and Ana Rufina Parra Virla; six siblings; and other beloved family members. She is also survived by one sibling.

A Mass in her memory will be held at a later date with her immediate family.

The family is deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support shown during this difficult time.  Hilda will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to E.T. York Hospice Care Center in Gainesville, through the Haven Foundation, 4200 NW 90th Blvd., Gainesville, FL 32606-3809, or online at www.HavenHospice.com/Donate. The kindness, compassion, and exceptional care provided by the hospice team brought comfort to Hilda and our family during her final days.

People will forget what you SAID

People will forget what you DID

but people will never forget how you

made them FEEL
