Rhonda L. Simmering Parman, 51, of Mansfield, died December 11, 2014. Born Mach 2, 1963 in Mansfield, she was the daughter of Robert L. and Carolyn F. (Hall) Simmering. Rhonda graduated from Lexington High School in 1981 and went on to work for Hi-Stat. She also worked as a nurses aid for a long time as well as for “Mr. P’s”, which was owned by close family friends. Rhonda also worked for her father’s general contracting business, R. L. Simmering Builders. While working with her dad, she helped on numerous projects at Bay Point Campground and Marina where she made lasting friendships.
Rhonda was all about helping her family and friends in any way she could. She was the type of lady that would make you laugh as soon as she walked into the room.

Rhonda’s family loved her unconditionally and she will be greatly missed.
