Addie Mae was born on Aug. 3, 1927 in Lampasas to Ernest C. and Gertrude Parsons Henderson. She grew up as part of a large family in Lampasas.

She also worked during the summers at Highland Lakes Baptist Camp. Addie Mae was very active in church, where she taught Sunday school and played piano and organ for most of her adult life.
Addie Mae loved to play dominoes and to visit with friends and family. Her loving demeanor and talent for cooking and music allowed her to nourish both the bodies and spirits of those who knew her.

Henderson, William L. Henderson, Richard C. Henderson, Eugene Henderson and Charles W. Henderson; and four sisters, Alice Cantwell, Lena Williams, Ernestine Henderson and Joyce Brown Brackett.
