Rhea was a dear friend to me. Rhea and my late husband, Ervin every year would always clean and plant the new plantings at Liberty Woods. If you needed a true friend Rhea was always there for you. Rhea, I will miss our phone calls and we will meet again.

If ever anyone could be described as "having a twinkle in their eye" it was Aunt Rhea. Rest in peace Aunt Rhea...you will be missed.##imported-begin##Larry & Terri##imported-end##
I miss my feisty, energetic, funny, entertaining Aunt Rhea. Aunt Rhea wasn't intimidated by anything nor anyone. She loved a good movie and was one of the best cooks I've ever known.
Bless you, Aunt Rhea, for the impact you had on my life. I will never forget it.##imported-begin##Mary##imported-end##
