Rhonda J. Siefert, 68, of Crystal Lake, Illinois passed on to glory on Sunday, April 14, 2024. She was born September 29, 1955 in Pana, Illinois to Clarence and the late Dolores Wafford. She married L. Karl Siefert on February 11, 1977.
Rhonda is survived by her husband Karl; her sons Bradley and Matthew; her daughter-in-law Nicole, her granddaughter Lydia; and her siblings Marla (Jerry) Cravens, Becky Wafford, and Mark (Valerie) Miles.
Rhonda grew up in Central Illinois, living in Pana, Springfield, and Fairfield. After starting her family, they moved to Florida in 1988, before eventually settling in Crystal Lake, Illinois in early 1993, where she lived for the remainder of her life. Rhonda dedicated over 25 years as an accountant at Follett Library Resources in McHenry, Illinois. She was a valued and reliable worker. She was often relied upon to manage complicated and difficult accounting issues and train others.
Rhonda became a Christian early in her marriage, and dedicated to the work of the church for all of her life. She had a deep faith that led her to love and embrace those around her.
In her free time, she loved playing games, assembling puzzles, watching movies with happy endings, but most importantly playing with her granddaughter, Lydia.
She devoted her life to her family: To her husband, to raising her two sons, to her granddaughter, as well as her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She loved to travel to Central Illinois and to Texas to spend time with all of her family and friends. She was generous with her time toward all, but especially with her family, friends, neighbors, church, and those in need. Her greatest joy was giving gifts to others. She will be remembered for her sweetness, love, loyalty, wisdom, and kindness. Her untimely passing leaves all of her family and loved ones with an immense void that is impossible to fill. The love she gave us and the character she modeled will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
