So much of a woman’s work is invisible.

The emotional glue. The quiet sacrifices. The strength no one thought to thank her for.

Today, we pause to recognize women whose impact was felt deeply, even if it was often overlooked or underappreciated.

Dering’s Funeral Home is a long standing establishment of Morgantown. It was originally formed in 1909 by Fred Dering then was operated by his son, Edward Dering for a number of years. In 1984 the Dering family sold the funeral home to local investors in the funeral business. After working for Dering’s Funeral Home for fifteen years, Thomas Henson had the privilege and honor of buying the funeral Home in 2008 and changed the name to Dering-Henson Funeral Home.
