Rhonda Deal Hillman Obituary
Her celebration of life will be held in December, 2024 in Floral City, FL. More details to be sent out personally later.
Rhonda was born at Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, FL on February 26, 1962. She was raised in Tampa as well.
She was a true hippie at heart. She was a VERY CREATIVE free spirit, who loved her children, family, friends, art, cooking, music, the country, the beach, horses and gardening.
She is survived by her children Jason Ray Deal and Lindsey Hillman; her Mother- Reatha Baughman, her brother - Otis E. Deal, her sister - Laura Bentley, Boyce Kinard - her primary caretaker, nephews and great nieces that adore her so. Rhonda was preceded in death by her Father, Otis H. Deal.
Rhonda's legacy is one of total authenticity, rebellion, strength, and love. Truly, one of a kind. She is now and will forever be greatly missed, but we all know that she is with our creator. Finally, in perfect peace.

She walked out of the warehouse of Mack the Knife to hand me an order made for the store at East Lake Mall. That smile and red hair took my breath away. I'd no sooner arrived before asking her for a date. She was the woman of my dreams and gave me a gorgeous daughter after our marriage. People sometimes ask if there are things one regrets.....I always say no.....I would if I hadn't asked her for her hand. The sun shines a little less without her here. Love you Ron

Rhonda, " Aunt Rhonda", was such a vibrant and loving person. She had a zest for life and always spoke her mind. It is comforting to know that she is finally resting in peace. May God relieve your family of the grief they are experiencing in your absence. Until we meet again, xoxo- Elaine

Rhonda loved life, family, friends and laughter. She was genuine and real, never plastic or pretentious. May God watch over you now and always dear friend.
