Dear Ron and Family,
I had the honor of working with Rhoda for many years at Naquag and am extremely sorry for your loss. She was such a positive influence on so many Rutland students. This picture of Rhoda smiling just brings back so many memories for me. She was a fantastic person and my thoughts are with you.

Ronnie and Family,
Thank you for directing us to this link. We are thinking of you and will always smile at the memories of being with you and Rhoda - you misbehaved and she couldn't help but roll her eyes and laugh with us.
That is the Rhoda that will always remain in our hearts...caring, fun and very loving. We are thinking of you, with love.

As a former student and glee club member I have very fond memories of Rhoda. Her patience was limitless with the countless rehearsals for our school productions!! I was fortunate to meet up with Rhoda in my adult years and even though she taught hundreds of students she recognized and remembered me immediately. I'm sorry for the void she leaves her family and consider myself fortunate to have known her!!

My deepest condolences. I went to school in Rutland and had Mrs Dickman for the years there. She was such an wonderful music teacher and most important loved what she did.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs Dickman was an exciting teacher. I remember being so sick and I still went to school because I didn't want to miss music class!
I treasure my memories of her.
God bless your family.
