Rhonda Stuart

Rhonda Leanne "Nene" Stuart (O'Shields), 56, passed away on January 9, 2025, in Augusta, Arkansas. She was born on November 2, 1968, in Newport, Arkansas. 

Rhonda was a loving and caring grandmother, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She cherished spending time with her grandbabies and found joy in the simple pleasures of life—playing slot games on her phone and sharing laughter with friends. No matter what challenges she faced, she always had a hug and a smile for those around her. Her parting words were always the same: "I love you very much." 

She is survived by her children: Savannah Baker, William Baker (Kendra), and Amber Baker (Matt); her mother, Rosa O'Shields; her beloved grandchildren: Alexia, Gabriel, and Tristan; her sisters: Sherry Rodriguez (Paul), Lois Barton (Rick), and Lisa Nance; her brothers: John O'Shields and Michael Dannar; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and countless friends who will miss her dearly. 

Rhonda was preceded in death by her father, John O'Shields; and her husbands, William Baker and Norman Stuart. 

Though life brought its struggles, Rhonda was deeply loved by those who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn her passing.

Memorial arrangements will be made in the spring.
