Ella Maria Heimbeck Hendrix

Ella Maria Heimbeck Hendrix, born on November 11, 1936, in Schweinfurt, Germany, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2026, at the age of 89. A devoted homemaker and caregiver, she dedicated much of her life to nurturing others, both within her family and through her work in church. Ella was a woman of remarkable independence and strength. She took great pride in maintaining her home, where she resided for 47 years before moving to Pike Manor Residential Living for the last eight months of her life. Her love for the outdoors was evident in her enjoyment of yard work, mowing her own grass and gardening, and she found joy in watching the birds that visited her. In the 1960s, Ella became a U.S. citizen, having met her beloved husband, Frankie Leon Hendrix, during his service in Germany. Together, they built a life filled with love and family. Preceded in death by Frankie, Ella is survived by her children: daughters Charlotte Carpenter (Rev. Bobby) and Tammy Neill (Terry), and sons Robert Hendrix and John Hendrix (Sandra). Her legacy continues through her grandchildren: Ashley Greene (Sean), Abbey Vickery (Billy), Brad Hendrix (Becky), Amanda Lazar, Jason Hendrix (Rosilyn), and Kyle Hendrix (Katie), as well as her great-grandchildren: Haiden Vickery, Rob Greene, Hudson Vickery, Connor Hendrix, Micah Hendrix, Addi Hendrix, Parker Hendrix, Taylor Hendrix and Logan Hendrix. A faithful member of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Fairburn, GA, Ella served diligently in the nursery, participated in the Good News Club, and was an active member of the senior club, The Classics. Her commitment to her faith and community was unwavering. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during the visitation on Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 at Parrott Funeral Home and Crematory. A funeral service will be held on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 11:00 at the Chapel of Parrott Funeral Home with Rev. Bobby Carpenter officiating. Interment will follow at Holly Hill Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Pike Manor Residential Living, 10642 US 19, Zebulon, GA 30295, in memory of Ella's time spent there. Ella Maria Heimbeck Hendrix’s spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
