Many people describe Rhonda as being a "force" with a one-of-a-kind sense of humor and infectious laugh. She loved spending time in the kitchen creating delicious meals and making her famous chocolate chip cookies. Her students loved her annual obstacle course, field day, and trips to the bowling alley. She would love to be remembered with funny, strange or silly stories that celebrate the best parts of her life. Her greatest passion was her family.

A special thank you to the caregivers of Cedar Community for their love and compassion for Rhonda over the past six years.

Memorials to the Alzheimer's Association Wisconsin Chapter (www.alz.org/wi) in Rhonda's name are appreciated.
