Rhonda attended Beauty school and worked as a hair dresser for several years. She loved learning and attended the University of Utah where she graduated and earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. She was also creative and in her earlier years she liked to draw and paint and did many craft projects. She had a love for music and taught herself to play the piano, took lessons and learned to play the harp. Her harp was her prized possession. She could also compose some of her own music.

Cooking gourmet foods and trying new recipes was another of her many interests. She had many good times cooking Korean dishes with her nephew, Stephen. Writing was another of her passions and she wrote beautiful poems and letters and also wrote a book.
