Dear daughter of the late Charles and Elizabeth Essman; beloved special friend of JoAnn Carrico; loving sister of the late Connie Essman Copeland, the late Wrick Essman, the late Karen (Nate) Holloman, Bill (Sue) Turner, Russell (Kathy) Turner, Sandra (Gary) Pippins, Susie (Jim) Brown, Beverly (Fred) Mathews, and Debbie Essman; and cherished aunt, sister-in-law, cousin, and friend to many. Rhonda is also preceded in death by her 4-legged baby, Dudley.
Rhonda, or “Buckwheat” as she was lovingly nicknamed, loved Elvis Presley, feeding the birds, fishing, going to Florida, and, most importantly, hanging out & making memories with her family and friends. She will be remembered for her kind, caring, and easy-going approach to life and she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
The family would like to especially thank Dr. David Abbott and his staff for their support, care, and concern.
Memorial donations may be made in Rhonda’s name to American Cancer Society.
