Christina Henderson

Christina Renee Henderson, age 47, of Bentonville, Arkansas passed away Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

She was born July 4, 1978 in Yuba City, California to James Douglas Henderson and Peggie Carol (LaRue) Lykins. She was a graduate of Watts High School in Oklahoma and has continued her education by attending courses at NWACC. She was employed by Central States Manufacturing of Lowell, Arkansas. In January of this year, she courageously battled with a brain tumor and other health challenges, yet she faced them with remarkable strength and never let them dampen her spirit.

Christina had a love for traveling, hiking, and swimming. Though she was a private person who valued her quiet time, those who knew her cherished the moments she shared and the strength she carried through her journey.

She is survived by her beloved parents, Peggie Carol (LaRue) Lykins and James Douglas Henderson of Olivehurst, California; her son, Domonique Michael Palacios of Denver, Colorado; her brother, Christopher Gifford of Colcord, Oklahoma; two sisters, Ashley Loene Scheppe of Gulf Breeze, Florida and Jamie Dawn Henderson of Rio Vista, California; along with many other family and friends.
