It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Rhonda Kay Stabler (Rhonda Kay Allen), (Rhonda Kay Pitts). A fountain of love, strength, and fun. Rhonda Kay left this world at 50 years old, after a strong fight against Pancr Read Obituary
The first time I met Rhonda was when I walked in to work at Brassfield Elementary in Bixby. It was my second year, and her first, and I knew the moment I saw her we would be friends. She was sitting at a table with another teacher and had on the silliest cow dress. I thought to myself "anyone that wears something like this, is bound to be fun" and she was. I later got pregnant with my second baby and was in a panic one day about maternity clothes. I hadn't needed "business" clothes with my first baby, and money was tight. Of course, Rhonda shows up the next day with bags of her maternity clothes from her pregnancy with Hayden. They were all beautiful and I think I ugly cried for the next few days looking at them. We became fast friends! She threw my baby shower for Avery and it was amazing. I was overwhelmed with what she did. How could someone who barely knew me be this generous? But, if you knew Rhonda, you knew this was her.
Our families spent countless, birthdays, holidays, summers and even vacation with just the adults, together. In fact, Bailey(who is Hayden's age)said to me after she found Rhonda had passed, that The Allen's house was like her second home to her for awile. :)
When my nephew, Drake passed, at the age of eight in an accident, Rhonda was our rock. She bought all of the guy's shirts, including the one Drake was buried in. She took care of so many things and helped us be able to focus on our family. When I walked in to the church for his service, there stood Rhonda giving me the sign for "I love you." I don't think she ever grasped how much that meant to me or my family, especially my sister Sam. Over the years we grew apart. They moved to Owasso, the kids went to different schools, be we remained Facebook friends. We would talk occasionally. Check in on each others families, and have occiational phone calls to vent on each other.
I am so honored to have had her as a friend, and I know there are so many people out there that she touched that she didn't even know. Love you so much Rhonda Kay. Give Drakie a hug from us.
