Jean Marie Henshaw Obituary (Age 89) Our beautiful and loving mother met her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on April 27, 2017. Jean was born to Oliver and Marie Zinkgraf on February 2, 1928 in Spokane, Washington. She attended Stevens Elementary and graduated from Marycliff High school where she played basketball and went to state. In 1946 she married James Allen Henshaw. Together they raised five children on a farm in the foothills of Mt. Spokane. Jean spent many years with the family at their lake cabin on Windy Bay on Coeur d'Alene and Priest Lake. She loved going to her children's and grandchildren's sporting events, family gatherings, and church activities. She was such a sports enthusiast, you can almost hear her saying Go Hawks! Go Zags! Go Mariners! Jean enjoyed bowling, fishing, and dancing as well. She didn't know a stranger, she was a friend to all. She was known as Nana to most everyone! She is survived by her daughter, Catherine Slama (Ron), sons, Robert (Anne), Daniel (Sharon), Douglas (Pat), and William (Tammy); her brothers; her twin Carl (Jean), Jack (Margaret), James (Rose),with 13 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by James Henshaw, son John and her brother Robert Zinkgraf. Her friends and family will miss her very much and will be reunited in Heaven one day. We would like to thank Lena's Gentlecare, and Dr. Matthew Bingham for the wonderful love and care Jean received during the last several months. We are very grateful for the compassion shown by all the staff at Providence Holy Family Hospital. Viewing will be held Saturday May 6, from 10-5 at Heritage Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3p.m. on Sunday May 7, 2017 at Mountain View Assembly of God Church, 633 E. Magnesium, Spokane, WA. Interment 9:00 am.
