Benny Frank Henson, 84, was born on June 7, 1942, in Honobia, Oklahoma, the son of David W. and Margaret (Balisle) Henson. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Marty Lois Henson.

Benny was a lifelong member of Valliant, Oklahoma. He married Judy Crow on May 20, 1966, at the First Baptist Church in Hugo, Oklahoma. Benny was ordained as a deacon in February of 1977. He worked at the local paper mill in Valliant for 27 years. Benny and his wife bought Uncle Bens on July 1, 1998, and worked together with their son until its closing June 30, 2017. He was very articulate, wanting everything to be in a certain order. Benny was very much a family man and wanted only to spend time with his wife and son, outside of working. He will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him.
