Rhonda M. Owen – Fairfield

Rhonda M. Owen, 65, of Fairfield passed on Sunday Feb 27, 2022. God decided that he needed Rhonda & her talents in heaven & took her home.

Rhonda was born Jan 1st, 1957 in Fairfield, Il to Albert (Ab) & Juanita (Miller-Matthews) Fleming. She was the New Year’s baby for 1957. She married Terry A. Owen January 31, 1975 at First Christian Church in Fairfield, IL.

Rhonda was a Registered Nurse & poured her heart & soul into taking care of others. Rhonda worked in several aspects of nursing from bringing life into the world to holding a hand as they passed from life. She dedicated her life to helping the ones that were in need. Whether it being at her job in nursing or helping a friend or stranger in need. She did not know the word NO & was always willing to help anyone out with anything. Anyone that ever met her, knew she had a big heart. She is still helping people in her death as she donated her body to medical science so future medical professionals can hone their craft to help more patients.

Rhonda is survived by her loving husband Terry, daughters Heather (Shane) Neuman, Theresa Owen & son, Terry Allen Owen II.  Grandchildren, Haylee, Savanna & Sawyer Neuman;   Jaggar, Hunter, & Evan Owen; & Dawson Young.  Sister Nancy (Bob) Crawshaw, brothers Russell (Juliana)  & Gary Fleming; numerous nieces and nephews;  as well as several others that knew her as a second mom or grandma. She is also survived by her beloved dogs Buddy & Mia.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert (Ab) & Juanita Fleming & one brother, Donald E. Fleming.

Rhonda loved fiercely and deeply and we take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace surrounded by light.

A remembrance of life celebration will be held at the First Christian Church in Fairfield, IL on Saturday March 12th. Visitation will be from 10am-12pm with a service to follow. All are invited to attend.
