Obituary

George 'Buster' Henson, beloved father, entrepreneur, and community pillar, passed away peacefully on July 13th, 2024, surrounded by his loving family and friends at Baptist Memorial Hospital at the age of 76.

For over three decades, George was the proud owner and heart of Catfish Corner in Grenada, MS, where he served his community with warmth and dedication. Known as a jack of all trades, George approached life with a spirit of generosity and a willingness to help others in any way he could. Whether it was fixing a neighbor's car or lending a hand to someone in need, George's kindness and expertise left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him.

Born on October 9, 1947, George was the son of George W. Henson and Mae McArthur. George grew up in Charleston, Ms. before moving to Grenada.

George will be deeply missed by his devoted spouse of 27 years, Nancy Henson, his loving children Renea Jacks (Dillion), David Henson (Cricket) and Shane Scallions (Mary), and his cherished grandchildren Hunter Rutland (Gina), Jordan Duke (Robert), Logan Henson (Haley), Kendall, Aubree, Olivia, and Brelynn. He is also survived by his sisters Frances Coleman, and Martha Lewis, and brother Gene Hill (Dottie), extended family members, and a wide circle of friends who admired his integrity and compassion.

George's legacy of kindness, resilience, and community spirit will continue to inspire all who knew him. His memory will live on in the countless lives he touched and the enduring impact he made on his beloved Grenada community.
