July 27, 1975 - August 25, 2021
Rhoda passed peacefully with her husband by her side in Sacramento, CA from a brief illness on August 25, 2021.
She was born July 27,1975 in Stockton, CA to Joseph and Mary Murdock. She lived most of her life in Manteca and Farmington, making friends everywhere she went. She graduated from Escalon High School in 1993 and went to work for In Shape City Health clubs working in the daycare. A short time later, she started her career with Kaiser Permanente in the call center and then spent 20+ years as a Pharmacy Technician. She was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints. She married her sweetheart Mark on February 25,2012 in a private ceremony in Lake Tahoe, CA and became a mother to their angel son Logan on 9/15/2012. She took pride in her divine calling as an Aunt; not only to her nieces, nephews and extended family and friends, but to all the youth who came into her life.
Rhoda enjoyed taking part in family activities and vacations, road trips with her loving husband, taking care of her dogs, ‘sister’ trips, helping others and making sure others knew that she cared for them. She loved teasing her brother, spending time with her dad, or just being with her nieces and nephews who brought her so much joy.
She will forever be remembered for her fun-loving and adventurous spirit, her selfless nature, her strength, and her ability to forgive. She led a beautiful life with a caring soul and will leave a lasting impact on all the lives she touched.
Her memory will be cherished and kept alive by her husband Mark, father Joseph, brother Mason (Amy), husband’s parents Jerry and Ana, brother in law’s Paul and Scott and sister in law’s Jeannette and Lily (David). She also has 6 nephews; Austin (Mollie), Joseph, Mason Wyatt, Jacob, Levi, and Benjamin and 6 nieces; Micah, Rebecca (Josh), Brooke, Eliza, Natalie, and Anna and great nephews; Bentley and William and great niece; Lillie. Our family wouldn’t be complete without her bonus sister Alicia Schott and Family, friends for over 30 years and soul sisters for eternity.
She will be missed by many, many, many friends, and extended family whose lives she touched with her friendship and giving spirit.
She is preceded in death by her son Logan, mother Mary, grandparents Mason and Margie Bybee and Harold and Cecile Murdock.
