Rhona was born in Rose City, Michigan, to Earl and Ina Mae (née Oyster) Linn and was a graduate of Hazel Park High School. Throughout her life, Rhona was known for her loyalty and devotion to family.

Rhona and Gary shared a loving partnership that spanned more than five decades. Together, they enjoyed golfing, bowling, and traveling, making memories along the way. In their later years, they found happiness in a quieter life, appreciating the comfort of home and the simple pleasure of having one another by their side. Their enduring companionship was a special part of Rhona’s life.

A loyal wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, Rhona cared deeply for her family. She was especially delighted by her beloved little dachshund, Autumn, who brought her companionship and joy. Rhona embraced faith, having been baptized Catholic a year before her passing, marking a meaningful moment in her life.

Rhona will be remembered for her devotion to her family, the years of love she shared with Gary, and the quiet, meaningful moments that made up a life well lived.
