She then returned to Springfield, MO where she had her other two children. In her early adult years she worked at Sweetheart Cup for 6 years until she was diagnosed with kidney failure at the young age of 30. She didn't let her disability stop her. Later on, in her adult years she still worked part time at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, until she was no longer able to work.
Ronda enjoyed just the simple things in life and always kept a smile on her face, no matter what she went through. She had the heart of gold and lended a helping hand to all that was in need of her. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, as well as her kids. She loved them and her husband of 40 years more than anything in the world.
She enjoyed reading books, doing puzzles, word searches and playing games on her phone. She loved sports, especially her Kansas City Chiefs, and she especially loved elephants.
