Heather Brooke Henson Longan, 50, passed away after a short, but hard fought battle on November 27, 2025, in Morris, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 2, 1975, in Tulsa to David Henson and Sherry Arnold.
Heather was a proud member of the Okmulgee High School Class of 1994. After graduation, she earned two degrees from OSUIT. She explored several career paths before finding her calling in the oil and gas industry. She excelled as a buyer with OGI, where her natural talent for numbers and problem- solving allowed her to thrive. Her work brought her great joy and a strong sense of accomplishment.
Heather enjoyed quiet moments spent reading, savoring dark chocolate and relaxing in her bubble baths, as well as spending time with friends on her neighbor Billy’s front porch. Above all, she cherished her four children and six granddaughters, who were the light of her life.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents Robert and Gladys Henson, Orville and Imogene Bryant, Paul and Doris Arnold, and also her bonus dad, Paul M. Arnold, Jr., along with her brothers, Russell Howell and Michael “Bobby” Howell.
