AGE 62 - TAMPA, FLORIDA

(formerly of Otsego)

Rhonda went to be with our Savior, Jesus Christ. She passed away unexpectedly, December 21, 2012 in Tampa, Florida, due to medical complications. She put up a courageous fight to the end. Rhonda was born November 20, 1950 in Plainwell, MI, the daughter of Charles ‘Homer’ and Nadene(Ladd) Shaffer. She was a 1968 graduate of Otsego High School where she was a cheerleader and gymnast. She worked at Time-Warner in Florida for 20 years. Rhonda loved to travel and her favorite destination was California. She also traveled to England & New York with her sister, Jackie Stineback. Rhonda always prioritized her family as number one in everything she did. She excelled at being a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend, counselor, employee and most important a woman of God. She’ll be remembered for her big smile when she was around her family and friends. As much as our flesh will miss her, spiritually we know she is pain free and with Jesus. She is survived by her husband, Pat McGonagle; a sister, Jackie (Gordon) Stineback; two children, Jodi (Maurice) Lelii, her son Scott (Brooke) Hinz; two nieces, Amie (Jesse)Proctor and Jamie (Josh) Jameson; eight grandchildren, Vincent Lelii, Gabrielle Lelii, Micheala Hinz, Ethan Hinz, Maya Hinz, Evan Hinz, Elliot Hinz, Edward Hinz; 4 great nieces, Macy Proctor, Kaylin Proctor, Allie Proctor, Jayden Jameson; 1 nephew, Jerin Jameson. All of whom will miss her greatly and hold on to her memories forever. Rhonda was preceded in death by her parents in 2009. The service will be held on January 2, 2013 at 2:00 pm at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego with Bill Rose, Celebrant. A luncheon is planned at the V.F.W. Post #3030 following the service. We are planning a local memorial in Tampa, Florida. The date and location will be determined at a later date. Messages of condolence may be left at www.WinkelFuneralHome.com

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

12-28-2010

As I sit in Heaven, and watch you everyday; I try and let you know with signs, I never went away. I hear you when you’re laughing, and I watch you as you sleep; I even place my arms around you to calm you as you weep. I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home; So I try to send you signs, so you know you’re not alone. Don’t feel guilty that you have life, that was denied to me; Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see! So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free; Then I’ll know with every breath you take, you’ll be taking one for me!
