Susan G. Henegar

Susan Gayle Henegar, 68, of Jonesboro gained her wings Thursday, May 2, 2024, at St. Bernards Medical Center surrounded by her husband and 2 daughters. She was born October 8, 1955, in Lubbock, Texas, to the late Jack and Josephine Brown. In 1968, the company her father worked for transferred them to Jonesboro where she met the love of her life, Robin Henegar.

After dating for 4 years, they married December 30, 1972, at First United Methodist in Jonesboro. Susan was a Jonesboro High School graduate, class of 1973. Shortly after graduating, she joined Rob in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where he was active duty in the United States Army. During that time, they made a home and started a family. On, May 4, 1974, they welcomed their first son, Heath Michael Henegar, into the world. After only 382 days, the Lord called their sweet baby home. 

They relocated back to Jonesboro shortly after to help run the family business, Wests Dry Cleaners. The business has been family owned and operated since 1958. Susan loved Wests Dry Cleaners and took pride in quality work and customer service. Her employees were family, and her customers were friends. 

Susan loved her family and her dog, Bella, more than anything. She was supportive and present in everything they did. Susan was the biggest fan of her grandchildren and was there for everything from volleyball games to band concerts. 

In addition to her parents, Susan was preceded in death by her son, Heath Henegar.
