Rhonda was born in Lubbock, Texas. She moved to Bonham at the age 4 years old, where she soon welcomed her baby sister that December. Rhonda attended Sam Rayburn schools, then Bonham schools. Rhonda played in the Bonham High School band where she played trumpet. As a teenager, Rhonda worked at the nursing home in Savoy where she met and fell in love with her soulmate, Kenneth Howery. Kenneth always knew him and Rhonda would marry each other. Rhonda was a very hard worker in her younger years. She worked many different jobs around the Texoma area. The last 14 or so years, Rhonda and Kenneth worked very hard to build their cleaning business in Ft. Worth so they could work and be together. Rhonda loved just being anywhere outdoors as long as she was with Kenneth. Rhonda loved scuba diving, snorkeling, going to the beach, camping, and even hunting. She even loved Disc Golf. Rhonda lived her life to the fullest at everything she did. In 2020, Rhonda's life was turned upside down when the love of her life was diagnosed with cancer of the throat. Rhonda learned how to take care of Kenneth's needs at that point in their love. She wanted to be the one who took care him, which she did to the fullest. Rhonda loved to find knew recipes just to try them. Her laugh was so contagious, you couldn't help but laugh with her. Rhonda could walk into a room and light it up with her smile. Rhonda was the light to many people and her light will continue to burn bright in all of our hearts.
