Rhonda was a dedicated member of the Miracle Temple Family Fellowship Church, Lakeview, South Carolina where she spent countless hours in worship and service.  While living in Charlotte, North Carolina, she was equally dedicated to Salem Baptist Church where she was a member.

She graduated from Fairmont High School in 1987 and received a four-year Teaching Fellows of North Carolina scholarship.  In 1991, she graduated from North Carolina State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. For more than thirty years, Rhonda taught math to middle school and high school students that she often referred to as “my babies''.  She worked in Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Schools, Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland, and the Public Schools of Robeson County.

She enjoyed spending time with family and friends as well as her sorority sisters.  She especially looked forward to going on trips with her church family and on girls’ trips with best friends, Barbara Moody and Tonya Grissett.
