Rhonda was born on December 12, 1960, in Davenport, Iowa, to Jeannine (Crawford) and James William Nichols. She attended both Assumption and West High School, then went on to earn an associate's degree. She worked in business for 34 years and never retired.
Rhonda loved flowers and plants, especially orchids. Her dog Jax was like a child to her. Rhonda was also very religious.
She is survived by her sister Debra (Steve) Hansen; niece and nephew, Stacey and Colby; great niece and nephew, Alyse and Spencer Lorenz; and great-great-niece and nephew, Aubriana and Little Ricky.
She is preceded in death by her parents Jeannine and James, and brother Jim Leo Nichols.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Scott County Humane Society.
