She married Craig Bloomingburg on July 25, 1975, and they were blessed with one daughter, LaBreska, who brought immense joy to their lives.
She was deeply devout and unwavering in her Christian faith. She was empathetic and showed genuine care and concern for the needs and wellbeing of others, many times going out of her way to offer support, kindness, and assistance.
During her tenure of over 40 years as a dental assistant, Rhonda also skillfully utilized her American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter skills to assist hard-of-hearing patients, ensuring they received the same compassionate care as all others.
She had a keen sense of style, a natural flair for fashion, and a talent for decorating that showcased her creativity and taste.
