Henrietta (Warren) Van Natter

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Henrietta Van Natter, on Friday, May 15, 2020, at 9:05 am, with her family by her side.  Mom was born September 8, 1924, to James Calvin and Elizabeth Warren, in Decherd, TN.  She married Charles Albert Van Natter in 1942, and he passed away in 2010.  They were married for 68 years.  Henrietta graduated from Decherd High School, where she was a star guard on the Decherd Red Devils, in grades 6-9.  She was also a star basketball player as a Prairie Dog.  She greatly cherished her basketball years.  Henrietta was a devout Christian and a member of the Alto Road Church of Christ, later the Tipton Church of Christ and for the last several years the Center Road Church of Christ.

She loved God, her church and her family.  She was a devoted and loving Christian all her life!  She was an excellent seamstress and cook!  She shared her good deeds with everyone and whoever needed help.
