I worked with Rhoda for  many years at New Utrecht High School. She was a very nice person and an outstanding teacher.
So sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to the bereaved family of my late friend Rhoda Chester. I was the primary caregiver to her for the two final months of her life. In that seemingly short time, we bonded in every way, from literature to culinary, from ancestors to siblings. The only thing we drew the line on was politics cause we both agreed it was a waste of time, since our opinion couldn’t or wouldn’t change anything. I miss my friend, she’ll be forever in my heart. In her own words,” Olga I’ve live a good life I am ready to go “. Rest well Rhoda.🙏🏽🌹💕

I met Rhoda through my husband Harry who was friends with Joe Chester.  Wherever she went she made friends.  She shared memories of her parents running a candy shop when she was a child and always loved living near the ocean.  Rhoda was a special friend for 60 years and will be sorely missed.

Condolences to the family and friends of Rhoda Chester , may her soul RIP and may the entire family be blessed among the mourners in zion 🙏 😢. I was fortunate enough to work for her a few days while she was sick, to know her is to love ❤️ her she will be missed

I am writing as a friend and associate of Marna‘s. Please accept my deep condolences on the passing of a very special woman, who I got to learn about through Marna. Though I never met Rhoda, she has touched my life through Marna, and the photographs that Marna has shared. Her radiance, beauty, and inner tenderness are transmitted in those pictures, and in the light, I see in Marna. May Rhoda’s memory, be a blessing, and may the spirit of her life continue to nourish her loved ones.
