Shelley Hendrix Martin
MAY 1, 1960 – MARCH 30, 2022

Shelley Hendrix Martin, age 61, of Patterson, Louisiana passed away at her residence on Wednesday, March 30, 2022.

A visitation for Shelley will be held Wednesday, April 6, 2022 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Word of Life Family Church, 108 Ryan St., Patterson, LA, followed by a memorial service at 6:00 PM.

Shelley enjoyed traveling, diving, sewing, arts and crafts, leading worship and teaching kids crafts and life lessons. She loved animals and was certified to take care of baby squirrels. She was known for her exotic pets including her beloved kinkajou Sol.

Shelley knew what it meant to love hard and give freely. She truly tried to live like Jesus by ministering unconditional love to anyone who crossed her path. She knew heartache and pain and was so passionate about helping others find healing just as she did. Her office was almost complete where she had planned to start seeing clients with PTSD (especially military) and other emotional traumas. Shelley was also planning to use her office for kids camps and classes. She had spent the past several years working on her education and certification in this field. She was a Chaplain and Certified Emotional Healing Coach. She affectionately named her business "A Time to Heal" inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This was truly Shelley's heart, always serving others. She was a special jewel and her loss will be felt by so many. Her loved ones can undoubtedly say that she left a legacy of love, joy, strength, and inspiration. We have no doubt heaven is overjoyed to welcome home a treasured daughter of the King.

Shelley is preceded in death by her father Ervin Eugene "Gene" Hendrix, her grandparents; Mary Viola Hendrix, William Ervin Hendrix, Clarence Bernard "CB" Stephens and Jimetta Smith Stephens.

She is survived by her husband, David Allen Martin; her parents Harriet and Charles Kern; siblings, Cindy Hendrix Allday and husband Laymon "Cal" Allday, Steve Hendrix and wife Beth Hendrix ; Godchildren Gabrielle (Gabby) Barney, Jacob Barney, (Samantha, Jacob and Landen Lasater), Davis Rankin and numerous others; nieces and nephews; Jeremy Frederick and wife Jaime Frederick, Aaron Allday, Robert and wife Adrienne, Lance Hendrix and wife Lacey Hendrix, Erica Hendrix and Partner John Shay, Casey Derouen, (Jadon, Jenna and Jericho Frederick), (Layla, Lennon and Leif Hendrix), (Liam and Eamon Shay), Kristina Brown and husband Dillon, (Staci, Austin, Nick and Blake Loomis), (Colten, David and Amelia Schaff), (Caidyn, Daimien and Kallie Brown) as well as a host of other relatives and friends. It is impossible to list everyone here since Shelley was known as a mother to many and all who knew her will truly miss her.
