Rhoda A. Stevens

Rhoda A. Stevens, 67, passed away peacefully at her home in Guilford, VT, on the evening of Monday, December 16, 2024. Born on April 12, 1957, in New Britain, CT, she was the beloved daughter of Franklin and Bessie Rector.

Rhoda was the devoted wife of Mark J. Stevens, with whom she shared 44 wonderful years of marriage. The couple married on June 13, 1980, in Newington, CT, building their home and a life filled with love and adventure together.

A graduate of New Britain High School, Rhoda continued her education at Central Connecticut State University. She dedicated nearly her entire professional career to the banking industry and recently retired from One Credit Union in Springfield, VT, where she served with dedication for 23 years.

Rhoda found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She cherished riding on their Harley with her husband, spending quality time with family, and doting on her granddaughter, Adeline Mae Stevens. She took pride in the home she and Mark built together and held a deep affection for her pets and “grand-pets”. She enjoyed her time with the Cairo Shriners and Ladies of Nile court.

Preceded in death by her father, Franklin, and her sister Delores, Rhoda’s memory lives on in the hearts of those she leaves behind. She is survived by her loving husband, Mark J. Stevens; her two sons, Mark A. Stevens and Michael T. Stevens; her cherished granddaughter, Adeline Mae Stevens; her daughter-in-law, Lori Stevens; Michael’s partner, Amy Grant; her mother, Bessie Rector; her brother and his wife, Franklin Jr and Kathy Rector; her sister and her husband, Dawna and William Czarneski; as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

At Rhoda’s request, no formal services will be held at this time. A Celebration of Life is planned for a later date, with details to be announced in the spring.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Make-A-Wish or The Humane Society, causes close to Rhoda’s heart. Her kindness, warmth, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

The Cremation Society of New Hampshire has been entrusted with arrangements. To view an online tribute, leave a message of condolence or for more information please visit www.csnh.com
