In loving memory of Victoria “Tori” Isabella Henke, who passed away on June 20, 2026, age 18, after a long and courageous struggle with depression. She was born on June 29, 2007 in Weston, a daughter of Jonathan Henke and Jamie (Verhagen) Tucker. Tori lived with a bold, joyful energy that filled every room she walked into. Her smile was wide, bright, and full of love. She had a way of lifting others up simply by being herself.
Tori was known for her big heart, her fierce loyalty, and her unmistakable style - especially her beloved cowboy boots, which she wore with pride and personality. They were as much a part of her as her laughter and her warmth. Tori expressed herself through music, and was passionate about gaming and electronics. She enjoyed nothing more than a home cooked meal, bike riding with her dad, skateboarding, fishing, and her character socks. Tori loved being around people, and especially spending her time with the kids.
In addition to her parents, survivors include her grandmother, Beverly Ellwart of Antigo; grandfather, James Verhagen of Antigo; five sisters, Alyssa Henke of Sandstone, MN, Brooke Henke of Oak Creek, Jesslynn (Parker) Tucker of Antigo, Sabrina Henke of Antigo, and Angelica Henke of Antigo; adopted grandmother, Teri Hunt of Antigo; Tori was also a soon to be aunt to her unborn niece Raelynn. She is also survived by many other relatives and friends.
Tori was preceded in death by her brother, Jonathan Henke, Jr.; great-grandparents, Barbara and Walter Barth; grandmother, Kim Barth; grandfather, Horst Paul Ellwart, Sr.; uncle, Peter Steven Beattie; and adopted grandfather, Ron Hunt.
Her family asks that her memory be honored through compassion, understanding, and gentleness toward those who may be carrying invisible burdens.
