On March 12, 2023, Lee A. Henriksen peacefully and joyfully entered the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born February 14, 1936, in Oak Ridge, IL to George and Elizabeth Henriksen, Lee dedicated his entire life to serving the Lord and his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Lynne A Henriksen, 5 children: David (Maria) of Pottstown, PA; Daniel (Susan) of Glen Rock, PA; Kristin Sauve (Paul) of Lancaster, PA; Nathan (Angie) of Fredericksburg, VA, and Karin Clapper (Jeff) of York, PA; as well as 19 Grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter. Lee was an avid, lifelong learner, attending the Prairie Bible Institute in Alberta, Canada, followed by studies in Linguistics, Bible Translation and Phonetics at the University of Oklahoma. He received a Master of Divinity degree from The Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia, PA, and subsequently earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Teaching and Spanish Education from Eastern University in 1978. He went on to earn the degree of Master of Arts in Social Sciences and Human Resource Leadership at Azusa Pacific University in 1989. From 1965-2002, Lee and Lynne served as missionaries to a remote Indian Tribe, the Awa, in Colombia and Ecuador, South America. During their time there, Lee spent years learning the native spoken language, put it into written form, and subsequently translated the entire New Testament for this remote people group, where there is now a flourishing church. Upon their return to the US in 2002, Lee continued to serve Central and South American Missions work through Wycliffe Bible Translators, and also served as their Lancaster Regional Recruiter from 2006 until his retirement in 2014. In addition to his many other giftings and talents, Lee was also an accomplished brick mason and woodworker, as well as a skilled musician, frequently entertaining others with guitar and harmonica. Above all else, Lee loved others well throughout his entire life, and will be greatly missed by so many around the world.
