Rhonda Mae Schneider was born July 18, 1961, in Knoxville, the daughter of Ralph and Carolyn Gilliland Zeck.

Many friends and family remember Rhonda always saying how she never wanted to grow up because she hated grown ups. She always talked about how boring grown ups were and how she wanted to stay a kid forever. Rhonda was fun loving and care free with a great sense of humor, no matter what the situation. She always lived life to the fullest.

Rhonda always put her friends and family first and would always lend a hand for someone in need, whether it be a place to stay, food to eat, or a shoulder to lean on. She was a great listener and a fantastic person to liven your bad mood. She loved to dance and sing and always told the best jokes.

Rhonda passed away on Sunday, Dec. 16, 2007, at her home in Panama City, Fla., at the age of 46.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents.

Those left to honor her memory include her children, John Schneider of Knoxville, Sarah Schneider of Panama City, Fla., and Tori Willemsen of Pella; parents, Ralph and Carolyn Zeck of Melcher; sisters, Fayetta Mason of Melcher and Ellen Williams of Knoxville and her grandchildren, Kyria Schneider and Ezra Clark.
