Jennifer Rae (Hankins) DeCoursey

Jennifer Rae DeCoursey, aged 50, of Bruceville, IN, passed away on May 31, 2025, in Vincennes, IN. She was born on March 3, 1975, to Kenny Hankins and the late Ronda "Ballard" Hankins in Vincennes, IN.

Jenni made an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone she met. She was the beloved wife of Josh DeCoursey, whom she married on May 30, 1998, in Bicknell, IN. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Brandon and Jenna DeCoursey, both of Bruceville, IN. Jenni's commitment to her family was the guiding force in her life, and the bond she shared with her children was unwavering. 

Surviving Jenni, along with her husband and children, are her father, Kenny Hankins and his significant other, Sherry Mason, of Bruceville, IN; her sister, Julie Stanczak, and brother-in-law, Justin Stanczak, of Bruceville, IN; her cherished nieces, Emma and Elora Stanczak; and her adored nephews, Ethan Stanczak and Ason DeCoursey. Jenni's passing was preceded by the death of her mother, Ronda "Ballard" Hankins, who instilled in her the value of family and the joy of laughter.

Jenni graduated from North Knox High School in 1993 and was a 1998 graduate of Butler University with a Bachelor's Degree in Pharmacology. She dedicated her career to serving others as the pharmacist manager at Walmart in Sullivan, IN. Her work was more than a profession—it was a calling, which she fulfilled with compassion and excellence. 

Jenni's life was a series of fond memories created at sporting events, family gatherings, and simple everyday moments that she turned into occasions of joy. Her sense of humor, friendliness, and loving nature made every encounter with her a gift. Jenni never missed an opportunity to make others smile, and her laughter was a melody that will continue to echo in the lives of those who knew her.

While we mourn the loss of Jennifer Rae DeCoursey, we also celebrate her extraordinary life. The legacy of love and joy she has left behind will continue to be felt by all who were fortunate enough to have been touched by her loving spirit. Her memory will be kept alive not only in the stories shared but also in the kindness and care she bestowed upon her community.
