Rhonda went to Springhill School, where she played basketball. She was 25+ year employee at Champion Auto Parts in Hope, AR, which was followed by many years of independent housekeeping. Her most treasured role was as devoted wife to her beloved husband, Johnny Brown.

Her faithful birthday and Christmas cards will be missed by all who received them.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son, Kenny Brown, her three brothers, Richard Leonard, Russell Leonard, and Thomas Leonard, and her three sisters, Sue Endsley, Sharon Golden, and Janey Morrow.

She is survived by her stepson, John Brown, Jr and wife Brenda, granddaughters Susanna Brown and Nicole Ferrand, great-grandsons Jayden and Paxten Ferrand, and many nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.
