Ronda had an in-home daycare center for almost 30 years. She enjoyed antique shopping and gardening. She most cherished spending time with her grandchildren, Ashlee, Cooper and Campbell.

Ronda was a loving wife, mom, sister and grandma. She was not a person who liked attention but was attentive to each person in her life. She made people feel loved and valued.
