I hadn’t seen Rhonda for a while, because I live in Texas. She was always so sweet and it was great catching up with her when I did see her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially Marcie 💜
I worked with Rhonda at Walmart for many years. She was such a sweet lady with a beautiful smile!
Rhonda’s family has my deepest sympathy. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Marcie,
I’m so sorry to learn of your daughter’s passing. Praying for you. 🙏🏻

Rhonda was a beautiful soul. I worked with her at Golden Corral and also Walmart. She was always smiling and a joy to be around. Prayers to her family.
Rhonda was a good person. Roberta Hobbs called her “Boo” and, of course, that nickname stuck for a lot of years. She was no bigger than a minute, and so innocent, she believed everything we told her. I would be walking through Walmart and all of a sudden I would hear, “Hi, Aunt Carol”. I didn’t even have to turn around because I knew who it was. She will be missed.
Rhonda had that contagious beautiful smile that l saw each time l was at Walmart. She was always helpful and made you feel important when you needed assistance while shopping. I’m very sorry for your loss and l know she will be deeply missed. 💔
