Life's Work/Service/Interests: She married Francis Steel "Hank" Chandler on June 2, 1941, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Rhoda had a positive outlook on life and was very pleasant to be around. She was loved by all that knew her. She especially loved her family and was so proud of all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be missed by each and every one of them. After their marriage, they lived in Idaho for several years and then moved to Lyman, Wyoming, until the death of Hank; shortly after she moved back to Wendell, Idaho, to be near her parents.

She loved and was concerned about each and every member of her family. She loved gardening, taking pictures, quilting, sewing and serving others.
