Carrol Rhonda Pfingsten passed away on November 25, 2022, at PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center,

one month shy of her 90 th birthday.

She was born in Elmwood (Beaver County), OK on December 25, 1933, to Mable and Lorrin Morris. She

Rhonda and Al spent many winters in their favorite spot, Palm Springs, CA. They loved golfing, traveling

in their motorhome and enjoyed gourmet cooking. Rhonda had a taste for the finer things in life – steak,

lobster, gold, and diamonds. She will be remembered for playing slots, driving her Cadillacs, generous

gift giving, and her extensive collection of cookbooks, recipes, and cooking magazines.
