In Loving Memory of Rhonda Marie Dresher (1960-2024) 

Rhonda Marie Dresher, a super sweet, loving, and kind mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, left this world on October 21, 2024. Born December 10, 1960 in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, to Gloria Jean Welch and Anthony Oliver Grether. 

Rhonda’s journey took her across many states after leaving Kentucky as a teenager, including California, Utah, Michigan, Florida, and Colorado, where she built a beautiful life with her husband, Robert Dennis Dresher. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Coralee and Richard. Rhonda was not only a talented artisan, crafting unique stuffed bears and their outfits, but she also played a key role as the accountant for her husband’s marble and granite business in Rifle, Colorado. 

After Robert’s passing, Rhonda moved to California to raise her children around her family. She also had a career change and became a pharmaceutical technician, dedicated to helping others. 

Rhonda moved again to be closer to her daughter, son, and grandchildren when her daughter was stationed at Fort Carson, CO. A lover of nature and unfortunate loss of her son Richy kept her tied to Colorado well after her daughter and grandchildren left. She enjoyed hiking with friends and found joy in the company of animals during her explorations in the mountains. At home, cats brought her comfort and companionship throughout her life, she always had cats! Her most recent residence was in Woodland Park, CO where she spent most of her time outside, exploring with friends. 

One of her favorite childhood memories was creating beautiful flowers for her father, a testament to her creativity and love. Her favorite vacation was Oahu, Hawaii, where she created unforgettable moments with her grandchildren. Rhonda had a sweet tooth for pudding, and her favorite color was pink, reflecting her vibrant spirit. Her most favorite of all the animals was dogs.  

She will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the hearts of her family and friends. 

Preceded in death by her parents Gloria Jean Welch and Anthony Oliver Grether, husband Robert Dennis Dresher, son Richard Anthony Dresher, and nephew Aaron Herrera.
