Obituary: Traleigh Elizabeth Henderson

June 12, 2002 – August  12, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter Traleigh Elizabeth Henderson on Saturday, August 12, 2023, at the age of 21.

Traleigh was born June 12, 2002, in Bedford, Indiana. Traleigh filled our lives with love from the moment she came into the world. She was a beautiful soul with a heart of gold and a kind spirit.

She was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, aunt, niece, and friend 

Traleigh is preceded in death by her son Ryker Dean Kern, grandparents Connie Henderson,
Jeris Fry, Barbara Larrabee, and her nephew: Kyson

She is survived by her father Jamie Henderson, and mother Devin Henderson, two sisters Mackenzie Henderson, and Cierra Jones, three brothers Deston, Dayton, and Payton, two nieces, one nephew, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Traleigh graduated from Bedford North Lawrence High School in 2021. She worked in Home Health Care and had a goal of pursuing a career in nursing because she knew it would be the most rewarding way to fulfill her passion for helping others.

Traleigh loved spending time with her family and friends and loved animals and the ocean.  She enjoyed reading a variety of books including her Bible, vacationing, crafting, cooking, listening to music, and country cruising.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
