Along the way as she became the mother of four children, two "nieces" that she raised, and stepmother to an additional three. There never was a lack of action at the household of nine children! When they were all teenagers, the street they lived on looked like a parking lot, even though there were always one or two vehicles in the repair shop at any given time. Amazingly she still found time to perform, teach dance, and participate as a member of the Birmingham Chapter of the National Society of Arts and Letters. She loved being out among nature, and she had a special relationship with animals, which she must have inherited from her Grandmother Santineau. She lived most of her life in Birmingham, Alabama, but as her children got older, she enjoyed traveling to Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Quebec, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and to France with a group of her French-speaking cousins to visit her family's ancestral village in Normandy. She will be well remembered for the fact that in addition to all of this she always found time to help those in need. This is a trait she inherited from her parents, Dr. Felix Thompson Henley, M.D. of Mississippi, and Helen Ana Santineau, of Northern Minnesota, who both predeceased her.
Funeral Ceremony will be on Saturday, December 11th from 9 am to 1 pm at Currie-Jefferson Funeral Home, 2701 John Hawkins Pkwy., Hoover, Alabama. Her final resting place will be at Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, Alabama. A gathering to celebrate Rhonda's life will be at the home of Ashley and Chris Bahr at 3 PM on Saturday, December 11th, at 205 Westcliff Drive, Hoover, Alabama 35226. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alzheimer's Association of Alabama, http://alz.org/al.
