Henrietta Milner Obituary

Henrietta Milner, age 97, of Lakeland, FL passed away on July 1, 2022.
A native of Noble, Arkansas, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Thelma L Baggett.
She is survived by her daughters "Hershey" Herachel and son in law Bill Pyle, and Bobbie and son in law, Jon Wilson, step children, Tommy (Debbie) Milner and Scheryl Milner and her partner Henry. She will be missed by her grandchildren, Christine Swiler, Brian and Stephen Milner and Matthew and Daniel Pyle and great grandchildren, Samantha, Caleb and Hudson. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Leroy and siblings, Earlene Kay Cupp, Lorene Tillery, Dorothy Hardin and Gene Baggett.
Born in Arkansas, she grew up in Mississippi and spent most of her life in Memphis where she attended Temple Baptist Church regularly and worked as a waitress and factory worker. Although she had jobs throughout, she spent most of her life caring for her family and providing a home for her loved ones. She moved back to Arkansas with her husband Leroy where she enjoyed trout fishing, cookouts and camping in Spring River every chance they had. She thoroughly enjoyed trips to Walmart and made it a point to go to Walmart in every city and state they went to. She even claimed to have met Sam Walton himself. She was a social lady who loved everyone and thought of everyone before herself, especially her family with whom she loved to socialize and could talk an ear off telling stories for hours. She loved her family, and she had a story about everything! She was loving and caring, but a feisty lady who shared her mind, stood up for herself and absolutely loved dancing at the Honky Tonk.
The family will receive friends and have services in Arkansas to be determined.
