Rhonda Ruth Rose, 44,

On Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008, Rhonda Ruth Rose, 44, of Whitefish, our beautiful daughter, sister, niece, mother, aunt, grandmother and friend, lost her life to the relentless enemy of alcoholism, in St. Anthony, Idaho.

Rhonda loved her family, life, and her God. She loved the outdoors "being in God's creation." She loved being with her children, grandchildren and family.

"We all loved her so much. We all tried so very hard to help her do battle with this horrible disease but to no avail. It slowly crushed her joy, spirit, love, and finally took her life. We will miss her terribly and look forward to having her back with us in the promised resurrection."

She is survived by her father and stepmother, Jerry and Linda Workman; mother and stepfather, Anthony and Beth Casey; daughters, Sausha and Kevin Pearson, and Alexandria and Devan Markham; son, Tyler Krone; sisters, Sherry and Shane Encoe, Tammy and Robert Hetherington, Tenneal and Edgar Torres, Sarah and Brad Pace, and Megan Campbell; brother, Jerry and Candie Workman; grandsons, Wyatt, Kolton, Aydon and Dawson; and aunt and uncle, Lynn and John Klein.

Memorial services were conducted Monday, Dec. 8, in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in St. Anthony with interment in the Wilford Cemetery.
