It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Rhonda Louise Fitzpatrick, age 72, who peacefully left us on 2/19/25. Rhonda was a beloved wife, mother, & grandmother, whose memory will be cherished by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents Frederick Dean Callahan and Dorothy Louise Fisher. Mrs. Claus at heart and to so many, Rhonda touched families all over with her generosity, love of children and infectious laugh. Rhonda was also very passionate about her jams, jellies, and pickles. She was known for bringing one of her jars of pickled things or jellies when going to visit anyone.
