Charity N. (Wood)
Henry
1956-2021 • La Grande
Charity LaNeva Henry,
64, of La Grande, died Feb.
13 in Boise, Idaho, after
suffering a brain aneurysm
and stroke. A memorial ser-
vice will be held March 20
at 11 a.m. at the La Grande
Church of Christ.
Charity
was born Sept.
3, 1956, in
Ashland, to
Ralph Albert
and Char-
lotte Lavona
(Johnson) Wood. She was
the youngest of fi ve children
and the only daughter. She
graduated from Ashland
High School in 1974.
After high school,
Charity attended Columbia
Christian College in Port-
land, where she began
dating Richard Henry of
La Grande. Richard and
Charity were married Aug.
8, 1975, and settled in La
Grande. Richard worked
for Union Pacifi c Railroad
as a brakeman and Charity
began fi nding various char-
itable organizations to help.
She spent several years as a
coach for the Special Olym-
pics track and fi eld teams
and the cross-country skiing
team in Union County.
She helped out at the La
Grande Church of Christ
as a Sunday school teacher
and was active in the local
chapter of the American
Diabetes Association.
Richard and Charity
shared several passions,
but their longest was their
involvement with Union
County Search and Rescue,
joining in 1989. They
became Man-Tracker 2 cer-
tifi ed, which required hun-
dreds of hours of training
and allowed them to teach
others the skills they had
learned. Charity used her
outgoing nature to become
a presenter of Lost in
the Woods, an in-school
training program for chil-
dren that taught them what
to do if they ever became
lost. She presented hun-
Upcoming local services
dreds of times to elemen-
tary schools, day camps
and church groups over
a 15-year period across
Northeast Oregon.
Surviving relatives
include her husband,
Richard Henry of La
Grande; son and daugh-
ter-in-law, Roy and Larina
Henry of La Grande;
daughter and son-in-law,
Rikki and Chris Martin
of Fort Carson, Colo-
rado; three grandchildren;
mother, Charlotte Wood of
La Grande; brothers and sis-
ters-in-law, John and Diana
Wood of Dayton, Ohio,
James and Maritza Wood of
Uvalde, Texas, and Thomas
and Malinda Wood of Ash-
land; fi ve aunts, 18 nieces
and nephews, and dozens
of cousins; and in-laws,
Glen and Verla Henry of La
Grande.
She was preceded in
death by her father, Ralph
Albert Wood, and brother,
Timothy Joel Wood.
In lieu of fl owers, memo-
rial donations may be made
