Henrilois Haynie passed away peacefully at her home from natural causes surrounded by her sons, David and Clyde, and daughter-in-law, Donna, two weeks before her 101st birthday on July 15, 2018.

As a child, she attended Redland school and later graduated from Concord High School in Leon County, Texas. She earned her Bachelor's degree from Stephen F. Austin University and then her Master's of Education Degree at the University of Houston.
