Rhonda Naylor

Rhonda Kay Naylor, a beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend, passed away on September 28th, 2024, at the age of 62 after a valiant battle with Early Onset Alzheimer's. In her final days, she was surrounded by her loving family and husband, Daniel. Rhonda was cherished for her vibrant spirit, playful tricks, passion for music and celebrations, and most of all, her deep love for those around her.

Born on January 18, 1962, in Great Falls, Montana, Rhonda arrived as a surprise identical twin, a fitting start to a life full of wonderful surprises. She treasured her bond with her twin, Rita, and embraced her large, loving, and ever-growing family.

Rhonda's curiosity and creativity led her down many different paths in life. From retail sales to activities director at Teton Medical Center, nail technician to waitress, she embraced change and the opportunity to learn something new. But no matter her profession, her home was always the heart of her world, filled with family, friends, music, laughter, and lively gatherings.

Known for her playful nature, Rhonda loved pulling pranks, with her famous "smell the butter" trick becoming a family legend. She relished every opportunity to celebrate, making her home the center of holidays, football games, and especially Halloween, her favorite. She also found great joy in camping, golfing, crafting, music, and traveling with her husband, Dan. Her zest for life was contagious, and she embraced every moment with enthusiasm.

Rhonda is survived by her loving husband, Daniel, and her children: Toby (Mandy), Nicole (Bryan), Jason, Katrina (Bobby), and Chantel (Greg). She also leaves behind nine grandchildren, one great-grandchild, her dear siblings Rob, Dana (Joe), Ann, Rita (Calvin), Jeanie Rae, and Dawnie, as well as countless nieces, nephews and friends. Rhonda was preceded in death by her brother, Mark, and her parents, Mary Jean and Walter Armstrong, and Robert Hall.

Rhonda's legacy will live on through the memories she created and the love she shared. She will be remembered for her joyful energy, playful spirit, and the welcoming home she opened-up as a gathering place for all.

A private celebration of life will be held in her honor. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Teton County Medical Center in her memory. Remember her always by asking someone to dance, taking your family camping, and celebrating the "small stuff."
