Lucina Christine Henry passed away at the age of 88 on July 11, 2026, at Eastridge Skilled Nursing Facility in Centralia, Kansas.

Cindy was born on February 23, 1938 at Sabetha Hospital the daughter of Joe and Mary (Brokamp) Steinlage.

Lucina (Cindy) attended Kelly School where she graduated in 1956. After high school she moved to Kansas City and worked at St. Margaret’s Hospital. While working in Kansas City she met Regis Henry who became her devoted husband on May 21, 1959 at St. Bede’s Catholic Church, Kelly, Kansas. After they were married they lived in Kansas City for two more years then moved to the family farm two and half miles east of Centralia where they started a dairy. She and Regis built a life rooted in faith, family and hard work. Due to Regis’s declining health, in 1998 they sold the cows and entered retirement. Together the two of them spent a few years working at the Knights of Columbus in Seneca, KS helping to serve meals at lunch time. When the time came for Regis to start dialysis, Cindy was his driver, his caregiver and his life line. She took care of all of his needs until Jesus called him home on April 7, 2014. Cindy continued to live at the farm taking care of Hank and her cats, the flowers and the house/farm until June of 2025 when her Alzheimer’s diagnosis began causing more confusion and memory loss. At that time, she became a resident of Eastridge Skilled Nursing Facility in Centralia, Kansas. For the past year she has gained the love and support of the other residents and all of the staff at Eastridge.

Regis and Cindy were the proud parents of seven children, all of whom are still surviving. Their children are Kevin Henry of Centralia, Chris (Erin) Henry of Seneca, Roger (Nancy) Henry of Mayetta, Vicki (Tom) Adams of Frankfort, Brian (Tracy) Henry of Alma, Keith (Dawnn) Henry of Centralia and Darrin (Kristen) Henry of Rossville. During her final months of complications with her health, she made sure all of her caregivers were aware that she had seven children and they were the reason for any diagnosis she might receive. Cindy loved her 17 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren and spoiled them every chance she could. On her 87th birthday she enjoyed a trip to the casino with several of her grandchildren. She had the time of her life and so did her grandchildren.

Cindy was a member of St. Bede’s Catholic Church, St. Ann’s Altar Society, Mid-America Dairy Association, Kelly Baseball Association. Hobbies include trips to the casino, and watching her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren play sports. Werther’s Hard Candies were her favorite and she always had a stash in her pocket. She enjoyed playing board games and cards (Pinochle) with family and friends. She loved crocheting and made several afghans for family members over the years. She enjoyed word search puzzles and playing canasta and solitaire on her tablet. While at Eastridge she could be heard singing along with the Bonjour Connection band when they were there to entertain the residents.

Her faith in God and the love of His church were strong and steadfast. She will be forever remembered as the quick-witted, sassy lady who was never wrong. She loved a good joke and a silly prank. Her unforgettable laugh (cackle) will live on in the hearts of all who ever had the chance to hear it.

Cindy was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Regis, her parents (Joe and Mary Steinlage), her two sisters, Joan Ronnebaum and Ruth Richardson; her two brothers, Galen Steinlage and Emmett Steinlage.

Cindy will lie in state at Lauer Funeral Home in Seneca, KS.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM at St. Bede’s Catholic Church in Kelly, Kansas. Burial will follow at St. Bede’s Catholic Cemetery in Kelly.
