We just got back from a trip and were told by Pat about Rhonda's passing.  How sad.  Even though I haven't seen Rhonda for decades, I can still hear her laugh.  I loved her sense of humor.  And I still listen to Elvis oldies and remember how much she loved him.  Joan, we're thinking of you these days and hope you are getting through this.  It was fun seeing you, Georgia and Karen a few years ago in Duluth.  We live in Mesquite, NV now.  If you're ever in the neighborhood......

John, Robin, Ryan and Families:  We were saddened to hear of Rhonda's passing.  I have known Rhonda for many years and have always enjoyed her.  She was a very good person and a wonderful Mom and she loved her family very much.  Unfortunately we just arrived back in town so we were unable to attend her services but please know you are all in are hearts and prayers.

The Larson Family

To all of Rhonda's family:

I was saddened to hear of Rhonda's passing.  I have fond memories of Rhonda and her family from when my parents (Leslie and Evelyn) and I would visit family in the Rochester area.  Regretfully, after my parents passed, we all lost touch. 

Rhonda certainly did love Elvis!  She was always kind and full of laughter.  She will be missed.

My prayers are with Rhonda's family and friends.

  Was so sorry to hear about Rhonda's  death.  I met her in Jr. High and remember all the fun we had at one of  her b'day slumber parties  singing along to  45 records, dancing , eating pizza and listening to Elvis, of course.  It was always fun to visit with her at class reunions  and read the books and stats she created for our class.  She was  a kind and fun person  and shall be missed.

Rhonda passionately loved Elvis' music and Brad Boice singing those famous/favorite songs.  She was courageous -- took cruises even though her health was not the best.  She was a force in Christ United Methodist Church (Rochester) to schedule Brad Boice for an entire morning Sunday worship service.  The church was filled to capacity.   Rhonda was a true fan and friend to so many.  She will be missed but remembered.  God bless her memory.  Margaret Lex 3/16/2016

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be sure to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. My condolences to the entire family. Rhonda was a very genuine, kind and sincere woman. 

Sincerely, 

Mark Moen

I am sorry I was unable to attend Rhonda's service today, but I do wish to express my sincere condolences to all of you.  I visited with her frequently at church and was sorry when I heard she was hospitalized.  Ryan, she kept me informed about your teaching in Hawaii and I am glad that you have done so well.  If you have time before returning, please give me a call at 282-3155.  I live at Charter House.

With sympathy to all,

Warren Zimmerman

Rhonda worked at Holmes Elementary School which is where I got to know her.  Ryan and Robyn were students there at the time.  Rhonda was a library media center helper and volunteer when I was the library media teacher.  She delighted in her family and was justifiably proud of her children and Husband John.  Working with children was her "cup of tea" as she was always upbeat and positive.  Rhonda also has a passion for music, especially that of Elvis Presley!  Rhonda was fun, compassionate and caring --- a blessing to all who knew her!  Colleen Arnold

John, Ryan, Robyn and family,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Ronda was a fun, kind and loving wife, mother and friend. We will miss the presence of Elvis' biggest fan!  Fill your hearts with all the great memories you have of her.

God Bless,

Steve & Beckie Palmer

Dear John, Antie Jan & Family, 

I am so sorry for your loss. Rhonda was a dear, kind & happy soul.

I was so touched when I saw her & spoke to her at Mark's memorial service in January. She said she didn't feel well, but then changed the subject & wanted to talk about traveling. That's spirit!

I'll never forget the many times Rhonda, as a teen, came to babysit Mark, Debbie & me. She made the time so fun. Elvis movies & music, popcorn & all sorts of games.

My thoughts & prayers are with you at this sad time. May God's love comfort you & bring you hope.  

My sincere condolences, 

Laurie Lynn Schlief Benjamin
