Kelli Shae Hendricks

Kelli Hendricks, 34, of Louisville, Kentucky passed away on April 21, 2026. Kelli was born on Valentine’s Day in 1992, fittingly carried the spirit of that day throughout her life, as she was the heart of those around her and loved with a warmth and generosity that knew no bounds. She left behind a deep void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She was a devoted mother, a cherished daughter, a loving sister, and a beautiful soul whose presence will never be forgotten.

Kelli’s greatest pride and joy in life was her son, Jeremiah. He was her world, and she loved him with a strength and fierceness that defined who she was. Everything she did, she did with him in her heart. Kelli also had a love for anything that sparkled and glitzy, a reflection of her vibrant and shining spirit.

Kelli was preceded in death by her father, John Gibson; her grandmother, Phyllis Hendricks; her sister, Ashley Millet; and her aunts, Melissa Hendricks, Regina Hendricks, and Julie Hendricks.

She is survived by her son, Jeremiah Starnes; her mother, Rhonda Hendricks; her grandparents, Danny and Rosie Gibson; her Nana, Bo Stansbury; her siblings, Taylor Carrico, Johnathan Gibson, Tristan Davis, Shane Whitaker, and John-John Millet; and her aunts, Stacey Ditto and Sandy Hendricks, Rachael Gravel, Heather Gravel, and Breanna Gravel; uncles, Sean and Billy Gravel; and grandfather, Gill Gravel, with many other extended family members and friends. Kelli shared a special bond with her family, and though life wasn’t always easy, her love for them never wavered.

Kelli will be remembered for her heart, her resilience, and the love she gave so freely. She touched many lives in her own unique way, and her memory will live on through her son, her family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
