Rhonda Measimer

January 19, 1958 — January 6, 2025

Rhonda Joyce Measimer, Age 66, of Chattanooga, TN went home to rejoice with her Heavenly Father on January 7, 2025.

Rhonda was born on January 19, 1958 in Middletown, CT. Her parents Pascal and Joyce Measimer could not have been more proud to welcome their first child into this world. Rhonda was strong-willed, vibrant, had a healthy appetite for life, and a capacity to forgive that could only come from her time spent talking to God and reading Scripture.

Rhonda was well accomplished at the time of her passing. She served for many years as a self-elected diplomat for patients suffering from bipolar disorder and mental health issues. In addition to these activities, Rhonda also was an honorary dance instructor at two of the last residences where she stayed, both in North Carolina and Tennessee. A true philanthropist, Rhonda was always willing to give dance lessons to anyone interested in learning, free of charge if they were found to be less fortunate than herself. Rhonda's beauty was immediately recognizable inside and out and it was for this reason that she was elected Prom Queen at Viviant Healthcare's inaugural celebration of the event. She took this title very seriously and made sure to remind those who loved her most that she was in fact "a queen". An experienced artist of sorts, Rhonda's preferred medium was a blend of preformed stencils, compiled into a book, which she brought to life with her own hand using a variety of tools including crayons, colored pencils and markers. Rhonda still found time amongst these endeavors to run her own personal distribution network at any location inhabited by her, sometimes across the country. Through this network Rhonda freely distributed countless hugs, radiant smiles, an infectious laugh, and when warranted (according to her) a healthy piece of her mind.

Most important of all of her successes on this earth, Rhonda found Salvation and eternal life through her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She is rejoicing today with God almighty and looking forward to being reunited with all of those who remain here and miss her deeply.

Rhonda is preceded in death by her Grandmother, Zelda Measimer of Davidson, NC. She is survived by her parents, Pascal and Joyce Measimer of Davidson, NC, sisters Crystal (Pete) Hengel of Billings, MT, Tammy Biles of Albermarle, NC, sons Shawn Measimer of Davidson, NC, Nick (Kristie) Puckett of Chattanooga, TN, and grandchildren Gage Measimer, Dreama Measimer, Jaiden Measimer, Sophie Measimer, Xavier Measimer, Christopher Puckett, Helena Puckett, Malachi Puckett, and one great-grandchild, Ava Measimer.

The Family will hold visitation for Rhonda between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at Companion Funeral Home, 2412 Georgetown Rd. NW, Cleveland, TN 37311. Funeral service will be held at Companion Funeral Home directly after visitation and the graveside service will follow immediately thereafter. Graveside service will be held at the pavilion for Hiwassee Memorial Gardens, 8063 N Lee Hwy, Charleston, TN 37310.
