Mava Henley Obituary
October 12, 1965 -
January 22, 2026
Mava Lee Henley went to be with our Lord and Savior on January 22, 2026 with her two daughters right by her side.
She will be missed immensely by her daughters Kayla (Ryan) Ricker and Jessie (Steven) Yokley; grandchildren Rhett, Ruby, Hosanna, and Ezra; Her mother, that has been her rock, Carol Ayers; her very best friend of over 30 years that she loved so much, Tony Henley; her sister Teri Lynn (Donnie Barnette) and brother Greg; her special niece Tara (Anthony and Tiara); all her special aunts Liz, Mava Sue, Judy, and her special uncle Choo. Mava had so many good friends who she often spoke of to her family. She was predeceased by her father Alton Terry Miller and step father Kent Ayers.
Mava loved Jesus and leaned on him so hard these last few months. She was a true disciple for Christ and wanted everyone to know about Him.
She had a generous heart and sought personal connection with anyone she met. We will forever cherish her sincere heart and the sweet memories we have with her.
