Rhonda Russell Dunn passed away on Oct. 14, 2018 in Reno, Nev., after a year-long struggle with cancer. Rhonda was born Nov. 17, 1957, and was a 1976 graduate of Rhinelander High School. She graduated from Nicolet College in 1978 with an Associate degree as a legal secretary.

Rhonda lived in Naples, Fla. for several years and was an accounts payable specialist with the Infilaw Corporation until Jan. 2018 when her illness forced her to move to Reno to live with her brother and his family.

Rhonda is survived by her mother, Patsy Russell of Rhinelander; her sister, Tammy (Bill) Bokern of Wauwatosa, and her brother, Rick (Daun) Russell of Reno, Nev. She also leaves behind two nephews and one niece as well as her beloved toy poodle Molly, who rarely left her side while she struggled with her illness. Rhonda also leaves behind four very good friends whose friendship meant the world to her: Tina Bushong of Rhinelander, Joanne Bishop of Rhinelander, Birsen Ergun of Fairfax, Va., and Wendie Schobloher of Phoenix, Ariz. She was preceded in death by her father, Roy Russell.

At her request, there will be no funeral services.
