She was born on January 10, 1962, to James Wesley Bryant and Darlene Mae Curtis Bryant in Jacinto City, Texas. Rhonda was a devoted member of Munn Street Baptist Church for many years. Her faith was an integral part of her life, and she found solace and community within the church. As a mother, Rhonda was unparalleled. She not only cared for her own children but also embraced their friends as her own. Her love extended beyond her immediate family, especially to her cherished grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart. Rhonda embodied tenacity, honesty, and class. Her impeccable sense of style was evident in her attire-she always dressed to impress. Her loyalty knew no bounds, especially to her late husband, George H. Vander Wiele, whom she considered the love of her life. Her warm and inviting nature endeared her to everyone she met. Rhonda's hospitality was legendary, and she welcomed others with open arms. Her maternal instincts were strong, and she cared deeply for those around her. Despite her generosity, Rhonda remained humble. She quietly performed countless acts of charity within her community, never seeking recognition for her good deeds. Her culinary skills were equally remarkable; everything she prepared not only looked exquisite but also tasted divine. Rhonda is survived by her loving children: Cassandra "Cassie" Bowie, Cristin "Crissie" Vander Wiele, and George "Wes" Wesley Vander Wiele. Her siblings, Debbie Barrett, and Jim Bryant, share in the grief of her passing. Rhonda's legacy lives on through her cherished grandchildren: Luke, Alexa, Victoria, Jocelyn, Noah, Jordyn, Zoe, Madelyn, Amelia, Liam, Annabelle, Levi, and Sawyer. She is predeceased by her beloved husband, George H. Vander Wiele, and her parents, James Bryant, and Darlene Bryant. Rhonda Kay Vander Wiele will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Her memory will forever be etched in our hearts. (Published by San Jacinto Funeral Home of Houston, TX) | Bryant, Rhonda Kay (I865)

Her husband and children, her mother and father - scores friends, were at her bedside constantly do to everything within their power to help her in her fight to overcome the inroads of an illness which was considered serious from the outset, but their loving hands could not hold her here, and death came to give her relief from her months of patient suffering. Deep as is their grief, her family has the consolation of knowing that it is only for a little while that God takes from us our loved ones. We shall have them again "made into immortal beauty. He will keep them safe for us and will give them back to us in radiant and imperishable loveliness. In this life, we see only the beginning of our good things - but one of the surprises of Heaven will be finding there the precious hopes, joys and dreams which seem to have perished on earth - not left behind; but all carried forward and ready to be given into our hands the moment we reach Home."
