Rhoda Weber Carr-Esquibel Obituary
December 18, 1964 - June 13, 2022
Topeka, Kansas - Rhoda born to Albert & Jean Carr in Tucson, AZ, passed away due to natural causes.
After graduating high school, Rhoda dedicated her life to motherhood, activism, and interpreting in the Deaf Community. Rhoda was well known in the community as a fierce advocate for equity, justice, and inclusion for those marginalized. The only thing that she valued more than her work in the community was her family.
Rhoda loved her family and spent every moment of her life with her family; teaching, loving, and taking care of them.
Rhoda is survived by her partner Tomas; children: Rachael (Frank) Piecukonis, Russell (Paige) Ames, Robert Ames III, Emily (Chris) Tregellas, Angelo Esquibel, Joshua, and Josh Esquibel. Grandchildren: Lucian, Peyton, Elijah, Lily, Raven, Monica, Ayiana, Annalisa, Mariah, Sariyah, Eddie, Essie, Mila, Nico, Josh, Desirae; great-grandchild Passionate; and many cousins who loved her like a sibling.
Rhoda was predeceased by her parents Albert & Jean Carr, grandparents, aunts & uncles whom will all be welcoming her.
Celebration of life/BBQ memorial will be held September 17th on the grounds of Lake Perry (Shelter 7) Rhoda's favorite campsite, followed by a trip to the Renaissance Faire (Bonner Springs, KS) on September 18th.

Oh, oh my dear friend! I didn´t know that you had gone! So often do I think about you and the incredible fun we had growing up. We had that special bond that only kids can feel, we never hated, we never fought, we never argued... life was what ever we imagined it to be at that moment.
I was so sad when you moved away to Cali, honestly my best friend was gone in a blink of an eye.
And now, I read this horrible story of you leaving again.
Rhoda, I love you.
We never made the time to reunite as adults... maybe it was better that way?
I doubt it. We had TOO many memories to share, and so many forgotten that we needed to remember.
I never had a sister, but you were my sister in so many ways.
God´s peace be with you, and calmness be with your family.
Too soon Rhoda, too soon!
