Elizabeth "Liz" Alaine Davis Henderson, age 88, of Asheboro went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at Autumn Care Nursing & Rehabilitation in Biscoe. Mrs. Henderson was born in Wilkes County on May 22, 1932 to Otis and Gertha Lunsford Davis and was a graduate of Union Grove High School and Mitchell Community College. Liz was formerly employed with Stimpson Hosiery Mills, as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Davis Hospital, and the Assistant Activities Director at Autumn Care Assisted Living in Statesville.
