Janie Mae Hendryx was born August 28, 1928 in Ashford, Alabama, the daughter of James Leath and Rosalie Adams. God called her name on Thursday, March 4, 2021 at the beautiful age of 92 years.
Janie, lovingly called “Aunt Bae”, moved to Saginaw, Michigan in the early 1950’s from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She was nice and kind and would give you the shirt off her back. She loved her grandchildren fiercely and they brought her so much joy. She loved to water ski, dance, and listen to music, especially Al Green and Prince. Aunt Bae was a wonderful cook, and she enjoyed playing the lottery. Family was very important to her and she will be truly missed.
Aunt Bae was preceded in death by her husband, Elbert Morgan; son, Edward Morgan; parents, James Leath and Rosalie Adams; brothers, Samuel, Robert, Willie, and Mack Leath; daughter-in-law, Dorothy Morgan.
