Rhonda Gail Kleinman, 66, Passed peacefully from this world  in her sleep on July 6,2025. She leaves a legacy of joy and treasured love for her sons Josh and Herschel .

She was a one-of-a-kind woman who lived life on her own terms and never apologized for it. She was strong-willed, deeply loving, and, let's be honest, just the tiniest bit stubborn.  She was the kind of person who could intimidate you and love you to pieces in the same breath. If you earned her love, you had it for life, and no one knew that love better than her children.  She had an interest in baking, she liked to dance to the oldies, the Bee Gees, Moody Blues, She danced like no one was watching. She was really into “Gone With The Wind”. She had a collection of interesting  memorabilia from the movie.

She leaves behind her children; Josh Kemp and Herschel Kleinman Her Mother; Yvonne Grantham. Her legacy continues through her Nieces ; Frances Howell, Christal Howell ,Heather Lee Howell and Amber Howell,  Nephew;   Travis Howell Sister-In-Law;  Heather Burn Howell and Shelia Howell, along with a host of other family and friends.  She was preceded in death by, her father; Charles Howell, brothers Rick and James Howell.

She taught us all how to be strong, loyal, how to love fiercely, and how to fight for what matters to us. We will miss her stubbornness, her warm hugs, and her fierce determination to make everything exactly the way she wants it. The world is a little quieter now, but heaven's about to get a whole lot livelier.  Rest easy, Rhonda. Give your father and brothers a kiss and bear hug for us all. Enjoy your reunion dinner and games together. And please, don't boss the angels around too much.
