Rhonda Lynn Smith

Rhonda Lynn Smith, 58 of Williamsville, departed this life on February 18, 2026, at Daisy Hill Farm, surrounded by family and friends who loved her dearly.

The daughter of Ruby (Eads) Smith and Jack Smith of Williamsville, Rhonda was born on March 4, 1967, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and lived her whole life in southeast Missouri.

After graduating from Greenville High School in 1985, Rhonda worked primarily in medical billing until she became a human resources specialist at the Poplar Bluff VA. She loved serving veterans.

Rhonda spent much of her free time with her horse, Nixie, and enjoyed many happy days camping and riding with her friends. She also loved kayaking, playing board games, and dancing.

Nothing was more important to Rhonda than family.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Ruby, maternal grandparents, Paul and Aileen Eads of Williamsville, and paternal grandparents, Lavada and Belvie Smith of Williamsville.

Rhonda leaves behind her father, Jack Smith of Williamsville, brother and sister-in-law, Brian and Misty Smith, of Williamsville, brother and sister-in-law, Clifford and Angela Smith of Greenville, nieces Hannah Smith (and fiancé, Stephen Defoe), of St. Charles and McKenna Smith of Jonesboro, AR, nephew, Joshua Smith and wife Alyssa of Springfield, her chosen sister, Angela Wallhauser of Williamsville, her godparents, Otto and Christel Wallhauser of Greenville, and many treasured aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Rhonda's work ethic was unmatched; she was generous, kind, loving, and loyal and her loss will leave a hole in the family that will never be filled.
