Our beloved Rhonda Lee Grubb, born Rhonda Lee Wilkinson, 76, was called home and entered the kingdom of heaven on June 23, 2024. After a long and tiring journey with cancer, she passed surrounded by her loved ones in the comfort of her home. Rhonda was born Aug. 17, 1947, in Tacoma, Washington, and raised by her loving parents, Marvin and Virginia Wilkinson. She shared a beautiful childhood and later adult life with her younger brother Mike, who always knew how to make her laugh. Rhonda attended nine years of Catholic school at Sacred Heart and St. Leo’s in Tacoma, where she solidified her love for the Lord. She then attended and graduated from Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington in 1965. She often spoke of her time on her Aqua-Maids synchronized swim team and her time in Alaska growing up. Rhonda met the love of her life, Michael Grubb, in 1963. The two quickly became inseparable. They married on July 13, 1966, in Tacoma, Washington and celebrated just shy of 58 years of marriage. Together the two created a beautiful life full of hard work and love. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, Michele, in 1968, followed by their sons Michael Scott in 1971, Steven in 1972, and Eric in 1977.
