Rhonda Jellison's Obituary

Together, she and Donnie built a warm and loving home that welcomed foot traffic from a multitude of people, family and friends alike, throughout the years. She was always ready to greet each one with a cup of coffee and a smile. Time with her grandkids, from watching them play outdoors to devising Halloween costumes for each, was always time well spent to her.
