She had worked a lifetime for Kingsport Press, Berryville Graphic and retired from Quad Graphics. The world lost one of the greats, one that was taken from us long before we were ready. Jody had a huge heart and an infectious personality that could bring out a smile in you, even if you were having the worst day.

Jody is survived by her brothers, Ron Hensley (Sharyn) and Mike Hensley; sister, Sheila Hensley Knight (Eddie); nieces and nephews, Shannon Herron, Jodi Strycharz, Marla Brown, Jonathan McNutt, Kelly Hensley, Tiffany Soltis, Pete Hensley, Becca Dunavant, Stewart Hensley, Kristi Knight, Brian Latture, Elliot Scott, Tyler Knight and Madison Mansfield; and many special friends.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday from 5-8:00 pm at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Home, Kingsport.
