Patricia Ann Hennings
January 12, 1943 – August 8, 2025
DENTON – Patricia Ann Hennings, 82, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully in her home on Aug. 8, 2025 surrounded by the love of her family in Denton, TX.

A funeral service will take place at 11 a.m. on Aug. 16 at the White Family Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Dr. Becky Jackson officiating. Burial will immediately follow at Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie.
Patricia was born on Jan. 12, 1943 in East Chicago, IN (but if you were to ask her where she was from, she called herself a Kentuckian). Patricia was the eldest daughter of Cecil and Virgie Phillips. She was raised with strong values of love, resilience, and faith—principles that guided her throughout her life.
On June 10, 1961, Patricia married the love of her life, Dick Hennings. Together, they served faithfully alongside one another in church ministry for more than 40 years, dedicating their lives to their faith and community. Patricia’s love of music was a vital part of her service, especially her passion for teaching others how to play the piano, sharing both her skill and her joy with many. Patricia was a devoted mother, giving grandmother and passionate foster mom.
Patricia is preceded in death by her son, Jim Graham.
She is survived by her husband, Dick Hennings; son, Richard Hennings Jr.; daughter, Lisa Boyd; daughter-in-law, Janice Graham; grandchildren, Michelle Graham, Megan Hennings, Joshua Hennings, Julia Frederiksen, Mikaela Neubauer; five great-grandchildren; sister, Fonya and brother-in-law, Tom Miller; as well as her nieces Lauren Mizel, Caryn Mundell and Heather Charron.
Those who knew Pat will remember her as a woman of generosity, boldness, tenacity and unwavering strength. She had a gift for making others feel welcomed and cared for, and her compassion left a lasting impact on all who crossed her path.
She will be remembered most for her deep love for her family and her enduring faith. Her legacy lives on in the lives she shaped, and the memories cherished by those who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Pat’s honor to Bowie Mission or The Samaritan Inn (in McKinney, TX) at: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E360553&id=5.
