She was a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend whose kind spirit and warm heart touched all who knew her.
Born on July 16, 1970, Rhonda was the daughter of the late Franklin D. Fincham, Sr. and Lucy M. Wagner. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 32 years, John J. Peirano, Jr., and her brother, Doug Fincham.
For 26 years, Rhonda dedicated her life to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Med Tech at Valley Retirement Community. She had a passion for helping people, always offering kindness, compassion, and a warm smile to those in her care.
Rhonda had a deep love for life’s simple joys. She found peace at the beach, where she could watch the waves and admire the dolphins and sea turtles she adored. She surrounded herself with things that brought her happiness—angels, baby Yodas, and her cherished collection of gnomes. She enjoyed shopping, solving crossword puzzles, and sharing laughter with her nieces and nephews. She had a special fondness for the color pink, a hot cup of coffee, and the companionship of her beloved cat, Diesel, and her ferret, Swiper.
Left to cherish her memory are her son, Jonathan D. Peirano (Stephanie); her sister, Tina Hackett (Sherman); her nieces, Heather McCrea and Liberty Privott; her nephew, Matthew Williams; as well as many great-nieces, great-nephews, and dear friends.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Whitten Timberlake Chapel, with Pastor Dennis Nichols officiating. The family will receive friends 30 minutes prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Oceana, an organization dedicated to protecting ocean wildlife. Contributions can be sent to Oceana, Attn: Donation Services, 1025 Connecticut Ave., NW Suite 200, Washington, DC 20036, or made online at www.act.oceana.org.
Rhonda will be dearly missed but forever remembered for her love, kindness, and the joy she brought to those around her.
