Sheral Heninger

Sheral Tanner Heninger was welcomed home by her Heavenly Father, her Mom, Dad, brother and so many others on July 16, 2016. Sheral fulfilled her calling as a good and faithful servant as she was the epitome of unconditional and boundless love who found beauty in everyone and everything she encountered. Her countless friends will remember her as a great friend, listener, confidant, and partner in crime.

Sheral was born on March 3, 1937 to Dr. Noall and Helene Adams Tanner in Layton, Utah. She attended Davis High School and the University of Utah.  In 1958, following a two-week whirlwind long-distance romance, she was engaged to Richard D Heninger.  It has been a marriage made in Heaven as they just celebrated their 58th anniversary and were most often found sitting next to each other holding hands and sneaking kisses.  They started their married life in Dugas, Arizona and in 1966 their marriage was solemnized in the Idaho Falls, Idaho LDS Temple.  They moved often and lived in: Reserve, New Mexico; Driggs, Idaho; St. Anthony, Idaho; Layton, and finally South Weber, Utah. Mom was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and held many positions. To instill a work ethic in her children she started Wedding Arts by Sheral where she catered, decorated and helped hundreds of couples begin their love story. When her work crew (kids) graduated and left for college, she applied her people skills in customer service at Stylart where she created friendships with colleagues and customers that endure today. Sheral loved her family and refused to allow oceans, mountains or deserts to separate them from her.  Sheral and Dick made several trips to Europe, the Middle East, and were frequently crisscrossing the US and Canada to wherever they could enjoy a visit with their kids. They were always up for the next great adventure.

Sheral is preceded in death by her parents Dr. Noall Tanner and Helene Adams Tanner, and her brother, Stevan Tanner.  She leaves behind her greatest joys: her husband Dick, children:  Zeke (Fanny) Heninger, Sherene (Mike) Konopczynski, Sherese (Kevin) Seeds, Zane (Kerri)Heninger, and grandchildren: Ashley (Alex) Moon, Garrett Seeds, Samuel Konopczynski, Joseph Konopczyski, Vittoria Heninger, Francesca Heninger, Emily Heninger and Nolan Heninger, and her sister Noleen (Bob) Tanner Bennett. Sheral also left behind so many that considered her their second mom!

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road.  Friends may visit family Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary.  Interment, Kaysville City Cemetery.

The family deeply appreciates all the love and support shown during this tough time.
