Rhonda Graham Obituary
Rhonda Ann Graham, passed away on August 11, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on January 31, 1950, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, Rhonda was a vibrant spirit who lived her life with joy and enthusiasm. She had a loving and selfless heart which led her to be a caregiver for others. Her bright personality and zest for life were evident in all that she did, from her love of crafting to her passion for dancing and music.
A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Rhonda took immense pride in her family. She is survived by her son, Michael (Canada) Gourley Jr., and her daughter, Kristy (Jason) Kahl. Rhonda's legacy also includes her beloved grandchildren, Allison (Cody) Caudell and Shelby Abel, as well as her great-granddaughter, Serafina Faulkenstein. The deep bonds she forged with her family were a testament to her character and devotion. She is also survived by her brother, William "Bill" (Kris) King Jr., and her best friend, Joyce (Richard) Holthouser, who shared in her laughter and cherished moments throughout their lives together.
Rhonda's interests extended beyond family; she found joy in the thrill of gambling at casinos and relished any opportunity to have fun. She spent her days working with a steadfast dedication, always eager for new experiences and challenges.
Rhonda is preceded in death by her parents, William King Sr. and Virginia (Michelone) King, as well as her siblings, Wayne King and Karen Holthouser.
