Harold Dean Henderson, 89, of Mooresville, N.C., passed away on December 8, 2025, at the S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House, leaving behind a legacy of love and service.

A devoted veteran, Harold served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany, reflecting his commitment to his country. After his military service, he dedicated 28 years to the U.S. Postal Service as a clerk, where his work ethic and sense of responsibility shone brightly.

Harold is survived by his cherished wife of 68 years, Berlene Keever Henderson; their daughter, Denea Dougherty (Daniel); sister, Millie Fore (Ray) of Fletcher, N.C.; and beloved grandchildren, Corrine Dougherty and Cody Dougherty (Rebecca). His family was his pride and joy, and he instilled in them the values of kindness, integrity, and hard work.

The family will receive friends from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon prior to the service, providing an opportunity for the community to come together to celebrate Harold’s life and the profound impact he made on those around him.
