Always a go-getter, Rhonda was in a bowling league, loved to fish and go camping and even paint. But the thing she enjoyed the most was spoiling her grandkids. She loved her family, was the first one to stick up for them and the last one to let them down. We hold on to the funny, crazy memories she created for us. One of a kind, that loved well, laughed often and lived for those she believed in.
Rhonda Lovelace, a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and granddaughter. She leaves a legacy of love that will last. We celebrate her life and accomplishments, knowing she will be fondly missed by all who knew her.
