She leaves behind several other siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and close family friends.
A skilled cosmetologist, Rhonda dedicated her career to bringing out the beauty in others, which she did with both passion and grace. Her love for cosmetology was second only to her devotion to her family and her faith. She was a member of New Hope Baptist Church.
Rhonda cherished her time spent spoiling her kids and grandkids, relaxing on the beach, cooking, and attending local sporting events with her husband. These activities brought her immense joy and allowed her to connect deeply with those she loved.
