Rhonda Mae Price, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and devoted community servant, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 4, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was 63 years old.
Born on November 29, 1961, to Keith and Iva Polley, Rhonda grew up with the strong bonds of family, alongside her brothers Randy, Dave and A.R. She married the love of her life, James Price, son of Vernon and Jeannie Price, on November 2, 1980. Together they built a life filled with love, faith, and service on the family farm where they have lived ever since.
Rhonda was the proud and loving mother of three children: Thomas, wife Rebekah, Jason, wife Robyn and Elizabeth Landgren. Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: Brody, Jayce, Laina, Kasen, Gage, Myer and Kerigan.
Faith was a cornerstone of Rhonda’s life. She was a long-time member of Prairie Chapel United Methodist Church, where she and Jim raised their children. In later years, she found spiritual community and fellowship at Kirkley Chapel.
Rhonda devoted her life to education and advocacy. As a life-long educator, she believed deeply in the potential of every child and championed the needs of the underserved. Her dedication to her community extended beyond the classroom, as she served faithfully on several boards including the Harrison County Health Department, South Harrison Board of Education, and The Unified Services Board.
Despite her many roles, Rhonda's greatest joy was her family. Whether gathered around a dinner table, attending a school event, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, Rhonda found happiness in time spent with her children and grandchildren.
Her kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for others leave an indelible mark on all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
