Vonda was a wonderful Christian who loved reading her bible daily and praying for everyone. She loved going to church and was sad when she could no longer attend, she had a smile for everyone, and she loved deeply. She was also very good at telling some of the funniest stories you've ever heard. She wasn't shy when it came to talking or letting you know what was on her mind, whether you agreed with her or not. She loved to travel, and sometimes Jimmie would say to her, let's go for a ride, and you never knew where you end up, but they always had fun. She was a fan of word find puzzles; she said this was how she was keeping her mind sharp.
she had fun, while she was able, she loved playing with the great-grandkids; it could be a game
or pushing them in the swing of teaching them about Jesus. She had lots of aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews and their children whom she loved dearly and wonderful friends, all of whom she loved to stay in touch with through Facebook. She was beautiful, sweet, and caring and loved her entire family with all her heart.
