Brandi Michelle Henderson, age 32, of Conway AR, formerly of Malvern, passed away peacefully from this life and was welcomed into the waiting open arms of Jesus on Saturday November 1, 2025.  She was born on May 24, 1993 to James (Dennis) Henderson and Teresa Michelle (Hutchison) Henderson.  Brandi had severe Autism and was nonverbal,  so communication was often very difficult.  She was a student at First Step in Malvern until she transitioned to Conway Human Development Center in 2008.  Her favorite things in life were eating, going for rides (with anybody), and would often listen to music with her dad as they both shared his earbuds.  She loved ANYONE who showed her attention. She was a Christian and a member of the Assembly of God faith.

She is preceded in death by her mother Teresa (Hutchison) Henderson, grandparents Doyle and Linda Henderson, and Randall Hutchison.

She is survived by her dad James (Dennis) Henderson (Lynn) of Malvern; brother James Henderson of Denver, Colorado; twin sister Candice Henderson (Lucas May); and her only nephew, "Mr." Greyson May all of Hot Springs; stepbrother Dustin Whitmore of  New Gloucester, Maine and maternal grandmother Carolyn Blendon (Bill).

We are grateful to all the staff at CHDC for all of their love and care for her through the years that she lived there.  Also special thanks to all the nurses and doctors at Baptist Health Conway for their immense care in helping her transition to Heaven as painless as possible.
