Rhonda M. Frisina, age 62, of Conneaut Lake, PA passed away unexpectedly on December 4, 2025. She was born on April 16, 1963, in Bennington, VT to the late Dennis and Joan (Mathers) Rousseau. She met her beloved husband, Steven “Dan” Frisina at a NASCAR race at the Poconos and they were married on May 31, 2003. He survives.
Rhonda was employed by Lakeview Ford in Conneaut Lake and formerly Oakland Beach Golf course in Conneaut Lake where she was a longtime bartender. She was also a travel agent for many years, working for several companies and her own. She was also a special needs assistant for Conneaut Lake Elementary and United Community School in Charlotte, NC.
She was a member of Trinity Global Methodist Church in Conneaut Lake where she taught children’s Sunday school for several years. She loved doing crafts with the children and always had a special craft for each of the kids in her class. She was also a member of Conneaut Lake Firehall Station #3. She loved to go in to have her wine with a side of ice and just socialize with anyone who was there.
Rhonda LOVED to travel. She was the master at planning vacations and trips. She took great care in making not only our family vacations special but making the clients that she worked with special as well. She took great care and detail in planning trips and consistently had repeat clients.
She had an infectious personality and could light up a room when she entered it. She treated everyone as a friend. She loved to talk to people and get to know someone. She was a hugger, and every hug Rhonda gave whether it be to family, friends, or someone she just met; every hug was special. Rhonda had the absolute BIGGEST HEART! She loved people!!
Rhonda relied on her faith in God and always reminded her family during tough times asking us “Did you pray on it?” She loved working in the children’s ministries in both Conneaut Lake and Charlotte, NC.
She was a special wife and mother to her family. She would always plan our special times together. She made every holiday special from the food she made to the gifts she gave. She took great pride in taking the time to make everything special. We will miss her prime rib dinner at Christmas time. She loved to sit around a campfire.
