Rhonda Tripp, 57
Rhonda Lee (Potter) Tripp, March 1966 – October 2023.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rhonda Lee Tripp. She was born in March, 1966, in Whitefish, Montana, and moved on to be with her lord and savior Jesus Christ in Oct., 2023.
She was a beloved wife to Gregg Tripp and loving mother to her son, Brady and daughter, Marla. She was an enthusiastic and fun grandma to her two grandchildren, Paxton and Presley and a devoted friend to many.
She was known for her outgoing nature and cheerful smile. She didn’t know any strangers because she would reach out and get to know nearly every person she locked eyes with. She would close the gap, heart first, with reckless abandon.
Those who were fortunate enough to know her knew that everything she did was in some way related to her highest priority, relationships. She cared about people in the most sincere, pure way and she was one that would act on any promptings she felt.
Most important to her was her relationship with God. She knew Jesus and wanted all her friends and loved ones to also share that relationship with her. She knew where she was ultimately headed and wanted others to someday be there with her.
She is survived by her husband, Gregg; son, Brady (Claudia); daughter, Marla (Jason); stepsons, Brandon (Easton), and Bryan (Ilaria); stepdaughter, Andrea (Joshua); brother, Bob (Kim) Potter; parents, Allen and Marlene Potter; and two beautiful grandkids, Paxton and Presley.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Mike.
The family will hold a memorial service to celebrate Rhonda’s life at 2 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 8, at Canvas Church, 255 Summit Ridge Drive, Kalispell, Montana. All friends and family are welcome to attend and join in this celebration.
