Rosella Hancock, 81, Columbia, KY (1942-2023)

Rosella (Starke) Hancock of Columbia passed away on Friday, October 6, 2023 at Baptist Health Lexington. She was 81 years old.

A memorial graveside service will be held at 11amCT on Saturday, October 14, 2023, at Haven Hill Cemetery, 1276 Liberty Road, Columbia, KY, with Bro. Steve Pescosolido officiating.


Rosella was born on September 8, 1942 in Taylor, Nebraska to the late Orin Starke and Martha Locker Starke. She was a member of Trinity Church and was a former employee of Modern Vending. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Lonnie Edgar Hancock in 2013 and two brothers Larry Starke and Rudy Starke.
