She was blessed with a multitude of lifelong friendships. Rhoda lived a life of enduring faith and love of Jesus Christ and Mary Mother of God. She was a devoted wife, sister, mother, aunt, and grandmother to her family, who loved her dearly. As the family matriarch, she humbly provided whatever was needed. Rhoda had a heart of service and a calling to mentor youth. Her lifelong commitment to the Girl Scouts of America and volunteer work with St. Robert Bellarmine parish was commendable. Never wanting or seeking recognition, her countless works were tribute enough.
