Rhonda Lee Valentine, 61, of Huntsville; passed away Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at her home in Huntsville, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born Saturday, July 4, 1964, at Las Vegas, Nevada; to Leonard Clarence and Norma Joyce Sichling Stewart. Rhonda married Gregory Steven Valentine on Saturday, June 4, 2005, in Goshen, Arkansas. She was a proud mother of six children: Darla, Carl, Brandy, Bobby, Ashley, and Mandy. Rhonda was a member of the Aurora Church of Christ and worked as a truck driver for 20 years. She loved life on the farm, especially sewing, gardening, and canning, and she always looked forward to going on cruises. Cooking for her family and friends was one of her greatest joys, as it brought everyone together around the table. Rhonda had a big heart and an outgoing spirit—her door was always open, and she was always ready to lend a helping hand. Above all, her greatest happiness came from the time she spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Rhonda is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, Gregory Steven Valentine; four daughters and two sons, Darla Stewart of Fort Smith, Carl and Brittany Stewart of Wesley, Brandy and Scott Skaggs of Japton, Bobby Stine of Oklahoma, Ashley and Jeff Parker of Wesley, and Mandy and Tyler Warford of Hindsville.
