Henry’s son Ollie is the senior quarterback at Bethel High School and was named the Homecoming king just hours before his mother’s death.

Ollie, who had been nominated for royalty court every year declined the role not wanting the attention, but this year he took the nomination to please his mother.

“Ollie's dad told her he got king and that we did the waltz, and that's all she really wanted him to do, so she heard about that,” Britney Woods, Ollie’s girlfriend told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

After being crowned king, Ollie went to the hospital to see his mother. She passed away five minutes after his arrival.

Ollie vowed to play Friday night against Todd Beamer High School.

“He said, Britney, I’m going to go. This game is for my mom, I gotta do great,” Woods said.

“We’re a family and we’re just letting him know we’ve got his back. This game’s for her,” teammate Donte Green said.

Henry was a fifth grade teacher at Graham Elementary School and is survived by her husband Olvier, a bus driver for the school district, her daughter Margaret and her son Ollie.
