Lori Hite, a cherished member of the Bandana Community Church and a devoted volunteer at His House Ministries, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2026, at Baptist Health in Paducah, KY. Born on January 4, 1964, in Paducah, Kentucky, Lori lived a life marked by kindness, community spirit, and a deep love for her family and interests.
