My sincerest condolences to the family. She was a wonderful person whom I had the privilege to know at SJH. She will be missed by everyone that knew her. RIP 🙏🏽
This is such a huge loss. She was a lady full of life and kindness. I worked with her for many years at St. John Hospital. Rest in peace my friend, but keep laughing and giving back in your new home.
My Condolences to all the Pledgers Rhonda, was very nice and will be missed. My Dad Coached her in Soccer many years ago. (she played with my brother) She has the team picture on her Facebook page. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Rhonda’s wonderful smile and positive attitude always made my day brighter. I had so many laughs and good memories working with her at Methodist.
Peace and blessings to all who were in Rhonda P.’s orbit. My sympathies to her family with their loss.
When she worked as a Renal Dietitian, she was active in the Council of Renal Nutrition (CRN.) Rhonda worked behind the scenes to support the kidney community. Rhonda reached out to her niece Jessica to serve as Photographer for Kidney Day at the Capital and photo log of CRN meetings. At the end of the year we had beautiful video set to music, of our meetings and our trip. Rhonda found ways to connect / promote people and bring sparkle to daily life. RIP, Rhonda P.
My condolences to the families of Rhonda. She is greatly missed and loved. Full of life and beautiful bright blue eyes that sparkled with a beautiful smile. She lived life to its fullest. She helped and touched many people. May God comfort you all and we will see her again one day soon 🙏🙏🙏
Our lives were intertwined and sometimes grew right into each other. Sometimes grew apart to life experiences we did not share. We have favorite videos and songs we listened to over and over. Favorite stories that would make us shriek with laughter. But the terrible, awful truth for me is, “I can’t believe she left me.” I feel like I am five years old, and she drove off without me.

Gonna be some explaining to do, Sister.
Dear Rhonda,
I will always remember your joyness and positive attitude ! Fond memories are surging into my mind now. Going places, having fun.
You were also very generous with me.
I will miss you forever.
Your french brother,
Vincent
My earliest memories were of her handing us the keys to her CRZ and driving full speed down CR 127 before we even had our drivers licenses 🙂
In the last few years it was her joining my table at bible study and her surprising me at work on many occasions with a full home cooked meal and flowers cut from her garden that she was so proud of. She was a crazy, but bright light and will be missed so so much.
