April Nicolette Rhinehart

April Nicolette Rhinehart, a young woman of joy and love, passed away on April 26, 2024, at the age of 42. Born on June 22, 1981, in Columbia, TN, April's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the joy of serving others. She departed this life in Nashville, TN, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.

April was the beloved daughter of Donna Gayle Tharp Anderson and the late James "Ronnie" Rhinehart. She was also the stepdaughter to the late Terry Wayne Anderson. Her life was enriched by love and making many memories with her siblings: David Anderson, Anna Middleton, Andrea Carroll, Tony Wildfong, Michaela Cornelius, and Chris Rhinehart. April held a special place in her heart for her nieces and nephews: Haylee Carroll, Emma Carroll, Brinley Middleton, Haven Middleton, Asher Middleton, Ella Middleton, Katie Middleton, and Rett Middleton, who will miss her dearly. Along with her father and her stepdad, she was preceded in passing by her grandparents, Eddie and Dorothy Anderson, and her brother, Corey Rhinehart.

April's daily life was marked by her warm presence as a door greeter at Walmart. She cherished her job and the countless people she met, always ready with her radiant smile and a kind word. Her love for her work was paralleled only by her passion for singing and her dedication to her church. Her faith was an integral part of her life, and she found great joy in worship through song. April's beautiful voice was a staple at the Napier Pentecostal Church, where she was a devoted member until recently returning to the sanctuary after her grandfather Pastor Jack Tharp had resigned. After his retirement, Jack and his wife June devoted their retirement years to caring for and spoiling April until their health would no longer allow them.

Beyond her work and church involvement, April was an avid collector of purses, always excited to find a new addition for her collection. But above all, April took immense pride in being an aunt. She invested her love and energy into her relationships with her nieces and nephews, ensuring that each one felt uniquely special and valued.

 April's influence and the memories she created with her beautiful smile will continue on with her family, friends, and all who knew her.
