LOUISVILLE, KY — It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the tragic passing of April Strange, a 50-year-old woman whose life was unexpectedly taken in a fatal accident in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood. Her untimely death has left family, friends, and the broader community grappling with an overwhelming sense of grief and loss.
According to preliminary reports, April was involved in a devastating incident that claimed her life and shook the surrounding community. As the Louisville Metro Police Department continues to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the accident, many are left searching for answers and mourning a woman who meant so much to so many.
April was known for her gentle spirit, resilient nature, and her ability to bring light into any room. Friends describe her as someone who was always willing to lend a hand, listen without judgment, and offer a kind word when it was needed most. Whether you knew her from work, through family ties, or from a chance encounter in the neighborhood, it was hard to forget April once you’d met her. She left a lasting impression with her sincerity, her humor, and her deeply rooted compassion.
Born and raised in Louisville, April was a proud member of the community. Her ties to the Russell neighborhood were strong — not just because it was where she lived, but because it was where she gave back. She believed in community, in connection, and in lifting up those around her. Her loss is not just a private one for her family — it is a shared sorrow for the neighborhood she loved.
April is survived by a close-knit family who are now faced with the unimaginable task of saying goodbye far too soon. She leaves behind children, siblings, and lifelong friends who are struggling to come to terms with the suddenness of her departure. In the days and weeks ahead, they will be leaning on each other — and on the kindness of the community — as they honor her memory and begin to process their grief.
A memorial service and celebration of April’s life will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, a growing number of friends, neighbors, and loved ones are sharing their memories and tributes — stories filled with laughter, love, and moments that perfectly captured the essence of who April was.
As the investigation continues, anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact local authorities. The community remains hopeful that answers will come — not just for the sake of justice, but to help those left behind find some measure of peace.
We encourage everyone to keep April’s family in your thoughts and prayers. The days ahead will be difficult, but they will be carried in part by the support of those who knew and loved her — and by the enduring memory of a woman whose heart, presence, and kindness touched so many.
Rest in peace, April. You are gone too soon, but you will never be forgotten.
