Theresa Carman, 65, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 3, 2026. She was born on September 13, 1960, to the late Edward Sanders Sr. and the late Doris Lodenkemper.

Theresa was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Danny D. Carman Sr.; her parents; her sisters, Darlene Sanders and Mary Austin; her brothers, David Sanders and Greg Sanders; and her special friend, David Mayberry Sr.

She leaves behind a family who loved her deeply and will forever cherish her memory: her partner of 27 years, Pete Griffith; her children, Danny “Sonic” (Lora) Carman Jr., Kristina Renn, and David (Emily) Mayberry Jr.; her son-in-law, John Eve; her nine grandchildren, Melany, Danny, Bryona, Cierra, Haleigh, Ishmael, Neva, Shura, and JD; her two great-grandchildren, Karsyn and Kingston; her siblings, Ann (Jerry) Gray, Edward Jr. (Patricia) Sanders, Mike Sanders, Jeanie Vest, and Steven (Kathy) Sanders; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

After dedicating 27 years of service to Target, Theresa retired and embraced the things that brought her the greatest joy—spending time with her children and grandchildren, creating cherished memories with her family, and expressing her creativity through crafting. She had a kind heart, a generous spirit, and a love for those around her that will never be forgotten. Her greatest pride was her family, and the love she shared with them will continue to live on through each of them.

Though her absence leaves an immeasurable void, those who knew and loved Theresa will remember her for her warmth, her strength, her creativity, and the unwavering love she gave so freely. Her memory will remain forever in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM (ET) at Forever Lakeside, 4540 Deatsville Rd, Shepherdsville, KY 40165. Family and friends are invited to come together to honor Theresa’s life, share memories, and celebrate the love she gave so generously.
