Rhonda Renee Patrick, of Warsaw, passed away at 6:38 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, at the age of 62.
She was born on July 27, 1961, in Warsaw, to Thelma Yates Black and Donald Black. On Aug. 18, 1982, she married Larry Joe Patrick Sr. and they were blessed with celebrating 41 years of marriage together before Rhonda passed away.
Larry and Rhonda were partners in everything, from raising their children to enjoying the daily tasks of their lives that brought joy to them. Rhonda spent her entire life in Kosciusko County and called Warsaw home. Her job in life was one of the most demanding and most satisfying jobs of all time, being Mom. Rhonda was a wonderful homemaker and cooked many delicious meals for her family. She enjoyed the outdoors, and always had a great time when she was able to spend her days camping and fishing. Those that knew Rhonda were quite aware of her sweet tooth, and Rhonda LOVED her sweets! A wonderful lady has left this world and will forever be remembered in the hearts of those that loved her, she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend.
She will be lovingly remembered by her beloved husband, Larry J. Patrick Sr., Warsaw; son, Larry Patrick Jr., Warsaw; two daughters, Jessica Patrick, Warsaw; and Nancy (Kyle) Lilves, Plymouth. Also surviving are her three grandchildren: Taesha Senders, Aizlynn Senders and Skyler Patrick; three great-grandchildren: Ava, Athena and Armani; and three brothers: Randy (Karen) Black, Warsaw; Steve (Jenni) Black, Janesville, Wis.; Kevin Black, Pierceton. She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers.
Rhonda’s family will mourn her passing and have a private Celebration of Life at a later date. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Arrangements were entrusted to Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, 225 Argonne Road, Warsaw.
