Agnes Kay Henry

Agnes Kay (Wright) Henry, age 74, of Marion, IL, and formerly of Vandalia, passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday, April 6, 2025.

Born on December 16, 1950, Kay was the beloved daughter of Robert and Thelma (Tedrick) Wright. A devoted mother, she is survived by her daughter, Veronica Lee (Henry) Mackenzie, who resides in England.
