Survivors include her husband, James W. Mackey Jr.; one son, Scott Mackey and wife Cindy of Norfolk; one daughter, Leslie Mackey of Nashville; two brothers, Bill Uhlendorf of Maryland and Paul Uhlendorf of Michigan; and four grandchildren, Christopher Mackey, Stephanie Mackey, Lexis Twomey and Austen Twomey. A memorial service celebrating Rhoda's life and spirit will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 10, at Beech Grove United Methodist Church, Suffolk, by the Rev. Keith Moore. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to one's favorite charity or cause. www.SturtevantFuneralHome.com.
