Hendrix was born in Oak Ridge, Anderson County, Tennessee, to the daughter of Thomas Hendrix, Jr., a relative of John Hendrix, and his wife Mary Elaine DePersio, of Italian, Irish and Danish descent. His father was away from home and served in Vietnam at the time of his birth. A week after her birth, when her mother's name was Jennifer, Hendrix was called Katherine Elaine Hendrix. Most of those close to him call him by his middle name and the practice remains at a standstill, but that forces Hendrix to explain his middle name several times. She has a brother, David Maher, and a younger sister, Stephanie Smith; both are married and have children. Hendrix grew up in Morristown, Tennessee.
