Rhonda Denise Neal

March 11, 1953 – October 2, 2026

Rhonda Denise Neal, 73, of Westminster, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Rhonda was born on March 11, 1953, in Salzburg, Austria to James and Zella Neal. Her father's military career carried the family across the globe, and she spent her childhood surrounded by the adventure of new places and the steadfast bond of a large, close-knit family. With siblings born in all different parts, she learned early that home is not a place, it is the people who fill it with love. Throughout her life, she carried that lesson with her, creating a sense of belonging wherever she went and making others feel instantly at home in her presence.

Rhonda dedicated more than 30 years of her career to Coca-Cola. She spent most of her life in Snellville, Georgia, where family was never far away and gatherings always felt like a family reunion. Later in life she settled in Westminster, SC, embracing life on the lake and giving back through volunteer work in her community. Whether she was kayaking across the water or cruising through the neighborhood on her golf cart with her beloved pug, Nugget, she found joy in life’s simple pleasures. A talented crafter, a devoted woman of faith, and someone who never missed an opportunity to look “beautimous,” Rhonda brought creativity, warmth, and a touch of sparkle wherever she went.

Rhonda’s greatest joy was her family, whom she loved with all her heart. She rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate the people she cared about, whether it was a birthday, graduation, or one of life's many special moments; she was the person others could always count on. Her joyful laugh could fill any room, and her kindness turned strangers into friends. The love she shared so freely will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched.

Rhonda is survived by her son, Michael; her granddaughters, Hannah, Kristina, and Ella; her great-grandchildren, Lucy, Tres, and Alex; and her siblings, Barbara, Jamie, Pat, Rita, Jackie, Jim, Joe, and John. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Zella Neal, and Barry King her husband

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, October 11th, 2026 at 2:00 at Eternal Hills in Snellville, Georgia. Visitation will be Sunday, October 11, 2026 from 12:00-2:00

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity near and dear to your heart

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Nanci Smith, Nancy Hucker, and to all of the family who surrounded Rhonda with love in her final moments.
