Rhonda Stone Obituary
Jan. 19, 1952 - Oct. 10, 2019
Born in Portland Jan. 19, 1952, Rhonda Hammari Engberg Stone received her promotion to Heaven Oct. 10, 2019. She fought a year-long battle with ovarian cancer and thanks to the love and support of her family and the caring staff of Hospice Care of the Northwest, Rhonda stayed in her home until the end of her time on earth. She was laid to rest Oct. 14, 2019 in Gibson Cemetery located in Eagle Creek.
Rhonda was preceded in death by her daughter, Amy Jensen, whose own battle with brain cancer united her with Jesus in 2014. Rhonda missed Amy and they are now joyfully reunited in Heaven. Rhonda is survived by her husband, Matthew; mother, Florence Engberg; son, Robert Williams; stepdaughter, Keri Steed (Jeb); son-in-law, Jeff Jensen; seven grandchildren; and, a large extended family. Rhonda is waiting in Heaven to be joined with Christian family and friends as God's timing sees fit. "See you in Heaven" were some of Rhonda's last earthly words. Matt is forever grateful to be blessed with 35 years of marriage to Rhonda, an Angel that God provided him.
Rhonda's Promotion to Heaven Celebration will occur at 11 a.m., Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, at Peace Lutheran Church, 2201 N. Rosa Parks Way, Portland, OR 97217. Remembrances to the Caples House Museum, P.O. Box 263 Columbia City, OR 97018-0263 or Thru the Bible Radio: ttb.org
