Earl Coleman Henrie

Earl Coleman Henrie passed away December 2, 2022 at the age of 72 due to complications from both liver failure and Alzheimer’s disease. Earl was born May 7, 1950 to Ellis Daniel and Louise Walton Henrie in Kimberly, British Columbia, Canada. He was the third of seven children. He was raised in both British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. After graduating from high school, he served a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the California North Mission. He attended BYU in Provo, Utah where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science and met his wife, Mary Lu Harris. The two were married in the Provo temple on November 21, 1975 and went on to raise six children. They lived in several places, but raised their family primarily in Lehi, Utah and in Tremonton, Utah. Earl held many jobs throughout his life, but his longest career was in quality control with ATK as a non-destructive technician. After retirement, Earl and Mary built a home and settled in North Ogden, Utah. Earl had many hobbies and interests, and found great joy in spending time with his family. He could often be found playing a family card game, tinkering on an engine, gardening, teaching his kids how to ski and swim, jumping on the trampoline with both his kids and grandkids, or baking homemade bread. His excitement for fun was contagious; it wasn’t uncommon for neighbor kids to come over to ask to join in while he was leading the activity! He spent his married life in the United States, but nurtured relationships with all of his family and loved going back home to Canada often to enjoy many reunions and adventures with his parents, siblings, and large extended family. Family was always his priority. Earl had a gentle spirit and his family rarely remembers times where he raised his voice, used harsh language, or got angry. He served faithfully in many church callings including scout leader, bishop, ward missionary, young men leader, and Sunday school teacher. After retiring, he served in the Ogden temple as an ordinance worker. Earl is survived by his wife, Mary Lu Henrie and children Michael (Jamie) Henrie of Harrisville, UT; Justin (Dani) Henrie of Longmont, CO; Tricia (Jared) Eavenson of Liberty, UT; Bradley (Emma) Henrie of Galveston, TX; Allison (Jack) Fry of Palmer, AK; Suzanne (Nathan) Briggs of South Ogden, UT; and 19 grandchildren (with one more on the way). He is also survived by his siblings Sharlene (Allan) Orr of Alberta, Bruce (Mavis) Henrie of British Columbia, Daniel (Connie) Henrie of Alberta, Scott (Terry) Henrie of Alberta, and Colleen (Rhett) Price of Soda Springs, ID and by numerous brothers and sisters in-law, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by both his parents; brother, Ross Henrie; father-in-law, Grant Harris; mother-in-law, Helen Jones Harris; and sister-in-law, Janette Harris.
