Ms. Pauline “Polly” Basinger Henley, 88, of Chesapeake, VA (formerly of Norfolk), passed away Saturday, May 21, 2016, at Virginia Beach General Hospital following a brief illness.

Ms. Henley was born Sept. 12, 1927, in Rowan County. She was the daughter of the late John Jeremiah Basinger and May Lillian Leazer Basinger.

Polly modeled for a number of years before marrying, which inspired in her a unique sense of style and elegance that lasted throughout her lifetime. Following her marriage and the birth of her sons, Polly returned to work and spent most of her career in mortgage banking. She was a member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Norfolk.

Ms. Henley is preceded in death by long-time friend, Fred Coker of Norfolk; and a grandson, David Henley of Roanoke.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Bruce M. Henley of Hammondsport, N.Y. (Leann) and David A. Henley of Currituck, N.C. (Barbara); grandson, Nicholas Henley of Roanoke, Va.; and granddaughter, Haley H. Greiner (Dave) of Chesapeake, Va. Polly is also survived by five great-grandchildren: David's daughter, Zoe, and son, Logan; Nick's son, Azrael, all of Roanoke, Va.; along with Haley's sons, David and Christian Greiner of Chesapeake, Va.; her brother, John J. Basinger, Jr.; and nephew, Mike Basinger (Renee) all of Sylacauga, Ala.
