Rhonda Upchurch, 63, of Bryan, passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2013, at St. Joseph Regional Health Center. Arrangments are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral Home and Crematory. No services have been planned at this time.
Rhonda was my best friend our entire lives. Her second husband McWherter - was murdered in Brenham just a few years before her mother passed away. She sought out her first husband - and they fell back IN LOVE and remarried! He passed away just a few years ago and this left Rhonda with no living relatives. She moved in with a friend who was named her exeutor and they both mangaged to make the bills and multilple hospital visits between the two of them. Rhonda's knees were extremely poor and after several surgeries - she started to have lung failure and multiple infections that finally took their toll. Her last hospital stay required that she be incubated and her excutor chose not to allow this - per Rhonda's wishes. She passed away shortly after. There was no memorial service.
To date the Memorial List is 102 Classmates. That’s a 102 laughter’s that want be heard and even more that health issues want allow them to join the celebration of the 50th reunion. Let’s take a moment, not forgetting our old friends of days-gone-by, and be thankful that we did know one another, at Waltrip.

A sweet person who once aspired to be a nurse.
