It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our deeply loved Harry H. Henwood, 77, of Spring Hill, Florida, on Monday, February 13, 2023. He was born November 12, 1945, in Steubenville, Ohio, a son of the late William and Rachel Henwood of Okeechobee, Florida.
Harry was a graduate of Cadiz High School (Class of ’63) and Duquesne University (Class of ‘75).
He was an x-ray technician and staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force from 1966 to 1970. After leaving the service, he returned to Cadiz to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a coal miner for a few years before deciding to pursue a career in the medical field. Harry moved his family to Pittsburgh and attended Duquesne College of Pharmacy where, after graduation, he worked as a pharmacist, owned his own pharmacy in Okeechobee, worked as director of pharmacy in several large hospitals and retail stores in Spring Hill, Florida, where he retired in 2018.
Harry loved to golf, travel, and spend time with friends. He loved his family dearly and the love of his life, Ronelle (aka “his Cupcake”). Harry lived his life the way he wanted to live his life – wide open, full throttle, and strong as ever. An avid, tenacious, and loyal-to-the-core Pittsburgh Steelers fan, every Sunday was like the Super Bowl when they played, and he transformed his home into a black and gold wonderland. He will be sorely missed by all of those who ever had the honor and privilege to know and love him, and the Steelers lost one of the most devout fans that ever cheered them on.
Surviving is his wife of 25 years, Ronelle (Rags) Henwood of Spring Hill, Florida; his brother Dr. Bill (Eleanor) Henwood of Hermitage, Pennsylvania; his sister Diane Milliken of New Philadelphia, Ohio; his sons, J. Todd Henwood, PLS of Pittsburgh, and Chief Warrant Officer Four Eric (Michele) Henwood of Fort Rucker, Alabama; his daughters Misty Gant of Brooklyn, New York, and Ashley Figueroa of Houston, Texas; eight nieces and nephews; eight grandchildren, and his beloved pet, Bella Mia.
