Celebrating the Life of Rhonda McKnight

Psalm 30:11–12 (NIV)

“You turned my wailing into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.

Lord my God, I will praise you forever.”

A Beautiful Life of Love and Light

Rhonda Noel McKnight, passed away on March 18 at the age of 59 after a courageous 8-year battle with breast cancer. She passed peacefully and without pain, and we find comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her mother and is now lighting the streets of heaven with her beautiful smile.

Rhonda was preceded in death by her mother, Diane Johnson. She is lovingly remembered by her stepfather, Raymond Johnson; her children, Amanda (Dean) Moodie and Brady (Amanda) Sheeley; her cherished grandchildren, Landon and Lincoln Moodie; her sister, Debbie Hembroff; and many “earth angel” friends who walked alongside her and supported her throughout her journey.

Though Rhonda faced many challenges in life, including her long battle with cancer, she never lost her love for life. She fought hard, and through it all, her faith in Jesus remained strong.

Rhonda will be remembered for her laughter, her energy and smile, her deep love for family, and the way she made everyone around her feel important. Her life was a reflection of joy, resilience, and unwavering love.
