Rhonda was a loving wife, mother, BeBe, and friend. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Waylin, for 33 years. Rhonda was a 1988 graduate of Reeves High School. She was a faithful member of The Family Place Church in Reeves where she helped in all aspects as much as possible. She was the President of the Reeves Heritage Festival, founder of Reeves Trunk-or-Treat, as well as helped organize and coordinate many and most community events. She also hosted numerous baby showers, graduation parties, house warming parties, birthdays, wedding showers and any other event where she was needed. Rhonda was a very kind and caring person who genuinely loved people, always lending a helping hand where needed; she was very selfless of her time and giving.  She enjoyed spending time with her family, spoiling her grand babies, traveling, going on ladies trips and going to garage sales. She loved raising animals, especially her chickens. She absolutely loved to spend time with her husband whom she dearly adored. She was the backbone of her family-making sure to try and hold everything and everyone together with faith and love. Rhonda will be unconditionally loved and forever missed by all who knew and loved her.
