As a child, Henrietta was affectionately nicknamed "Butch". Only family members and close friends were allowed to call her by her nickname. Being the eldest of five siblings, she would often help her mother with chores, supervise and baby sit her siblings while her parents were working. Henrietta would often tell stories to her family about playing with her siblings, riding bikes and playing jokes with her brother John Jr. Henrietta began high school in Warren County but then transferred to Hadley Tech High School in St. Louis, MO, where she graduated. After graduation, Henrietta met Weldon Ball of Wright City, MO, and was united in marriage. To this union,  they raised and loved their daughter Trina (nee: Ball) Prince of Warrenton, MO. Henrietta began her working career at Continental Telephone Company in Wentzville, MO. Later she was employed at the St. Louis Metro Police Department as a Police Report Clerk. Then Henrietta decided to pursue a new career and passion in the nursing field.  She attended the O'Fallon Vocation Tech School in St. Louis to obtain her license as a LPN. She was a single parent while pursuing her new dreams of nursing and she also supported her daughter, Trina, while she was in college.  Henrietta was a  member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Auxvasse, MO. She enjoyed visiting other churches, but her favorite was Church On The Rock in St. Peters, MO. Henrietta enjoyed living life and had many hobbies. She enjoyed bowling with her friends and shopping at her favorite stores, Macy's, JCPenney as well as several thrift stores, to name a few. Henrietta loved to cook. Her favorite dish, Broccoli and Rice Casserole was always a family favorite and when strawberries were in season, her favorite dessert, Strawberry short cake was also a favorite. Henrietta's greatest joy came from spending as much time with her family as she could. She especially enjoyed family gatherings. She loved to shop for her grandchildren's birthday, Christmas and back to school supplies. Henrietta loved to spoil her grandchildren. After she retired from the Dialysis Clinic as a Dialysis Nurse in Columbia, MO, she relocated to Wentzville, MO, to be close to her daughter and grandchildren.
