1938-2026
Nancy Lee Henning, 88, of Kingman, died Aug. 29, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
She was born July 20, 1938, the daughter of Percy and Gladys Cheatum. A longtime Kingman resident, Nancy devoted her life to caring for her family. She was known for her kind heart, strong will and unwavering love for those closest to her.
On March 1, 1954, she married Herman J. Henning. He preceded her in death.
Survivors include her children, Patricia Meyers of Oak Harbor, Wash.; Debbie Renner, Robert Henning with wife Kim, Teri Schmitz and husband Dallas, Deanna Henning and Seth Henning, all of Kingman; sister Patty Baggett of Kingman; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman; her parents, Percy and Gladys Cheatum; and sons Michael and John Henning.
Nancy found her greatest joy in making sure her family was cared for. Whether through words of encouragement, a helping hand or simply being there when she was needed, she showed her love by taking care of others. Her family was the center of her world, and she took great pride in watching it grow through the generations.
Lovingly known as the “boss” of the family, Nancy was never afraid to speak her mind, keep everyone in line or let her loved ones know exactly what she thought. Her family knew that behind her strong will was an even stronger love for them. Her guidance, strength and steady presence helped shape generations of her family, and they wouldn’t have wanted her any other way.
Nancy leaves behind a legacy of love, strength and devotion that will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
Graveside services will be 2:00 p.m., Friday, Oct. 2, 2026 at the Walnut Hill Cemetery.
Memorials may be made with Rivercross Hospice or the Kingman County Humane Society.
“Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in the hearts they touched, the memories they created, and the love they shared.”
