Rhonda Lachelle Ezell

Rhonda Ezell, age 59, passed away on July 8, 2025. Born on October 26, 1965, Rhonda was a loving and caring person who made a lasting impact on those around her.

She enjoyed the simple things in life—knitting, crocheting, and getting lost in a good book. Her favorite drink was sweet tea with no ice, and she had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. Rhonda loved the color purple and had a special fondness for butterflies. These small but meaningful joys reflected her personality—quiet, thoughtful, and steady.

Rhonda will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her. A private service will be held by the family to honor her memory.

A celebration of life for Rhonda and her husband Ben Ezell will take place on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Catfish Kitchen from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made towards the funeral expenses using the crowd funding section at the bottom of this page.
