Carla Rae Mathilda Henry, age 73 of Pacific, Missouri, passed away May 15th, 2025, in the presence of her beloved family. She was born June 30th, 1951, in Belleville, IL to the late Oscar and Alleen Stehlick.

Carla held a deep and unwavering faith in God along with overwhelming pride of her family. She often said that her greatest accomplishment in life was becoming a mother to her three children. From her early twenties until her last year of life, you could find Carla worshipping on the front row of any altar. She met her sweetheart, Kent, when he saw her dancing with her long golden hair at the altar at a worship service. As believers, we know that she dances now in the glory of heaven with her King.

Those who knew Carla will remember her for her unlimited generosity, fierce sense of justice, and desire that all should know the Lord's unending love for them.

Carla was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Alleen Stehlick; and one sister, Cherie Perlow.

‍She is survived by her husband, Kent Henry; son, Matt Henry and wife Taryn; two daughters: Jessica Stern and husband Jim, and Ariel Glose and husband Jared; grandchildren: McKennah Jones, Eva Stern, Jadyn Stern, Shaya Stern, Maximus Stern, Jace Henry, Hadley Henry, Isaiah Henry, Jolie Glose, and one more grandson on the way; four siblings: Joan Falbe and husband Steve, Jim Stehlick and wife Tina, Steven Stehlick and wife Debbie, and Shirley Stehlick; and many other relatives and friends.

A celebration of Carla's life will be held at a later date.
