Rhonda Soare
July 24, 1938 - October 29, 2016
Tribute
On Saturday, October 29, 2016, Mrs. Rhonda Louise Soare (Lomon, Smith) of Oliver passed away peacefully after a long fight with illnesses at McKinney Place Extended Care at the age of 78 years.
She was predeceased by her husband Bill Soare; mother Faustine Diedrick; father Frank (Bud) Lomon; her first husband Joe Smith and step-som Rocky Alan Soare.
Rhonda will be fondly remembered by her loving family including sister Sheran Sellers (nee Lomon); children Tammy Neuls (nee Smith), Timothy Smith and Diane Smith; stepson Mike (Jackie) Soare; step-daughter Cindy Soare; grandchildren Ashley Neuls, Melissa Kotylak and Joey Smith; step-grandchildren Dalton, Rochelle & Dillon Soare, Sabrina Wooley and Nicole Soare-Schmidt.
Rhonda grew up in Oliver and lived most of her life in Oliver, she loved the hot Okanagan sun. She worked at the Oliver Credit Union for many years and then supported Bill by moving to many jobsites around BC with him as he worked in heavy construction.
Rhonda enjoyed an Alaskan cruise with her mother Faustine and her sister Sheran as well as travelling to Yosemite National Park with her husband Bill.
She enjoyed crocheting many heirloom tablecloths and doilies as well as slippers, baby outfits and outfits for Barbie dolls which she sold at craft fairs.
Rhonda is reunited in Heaven with Bill, the love of her life for over 35 years. She was a very quiet person who loved her family and friends, nature, animals and her garden.
The family would like to thank Dr. Rooke, Dr. Hill and Dr. Entwistle for all their kind care; also to the palliative care nurses Lisa and Ashley as well as the nursing staff at SOGH and McKinney Place for their loving care in Rhonda’s last few weeks of life.
