Rhonda (Henslin) Baldwin was born in Rochester, Minnesota on September 14, 1953. She was the daughter of Edwin and Lucille (Lee) Henslin. She was confirmed at Lincoln Lutheran Church in rural Lake City, MN and also graduated from Lincoln High School in Lake City in 1972. Rhonda loved shopping with her sister, Gina, and being with her family, especially the time she spent growing up on the family farm. She also truly enjoyed her years living in California, particularly the Monterey Bay area, being self employed in a cleaning business there. She also had a job in the insurance industry, a job in the credit services industry, and worked at a restaurant/lounge where her smile and friendly demeanor guided her into meeting her late husband, Mark, and her special friend, Ron. Recently, Rhonda's passion was her job as a Health Unit Coordinator at St. Mary's Hospital, where the cherished friends she met there became her "work family".
Rhonda is survived by her mother, Lucille Lee, of Zumbro Falls, and stepfather Erling Lee; one sister, Gina Henslin, of Rochester; brother David (Dede) Henslin, of Rochester; and brother Darrell, of Rochester; niece Michelle and nephew Kevin; step-sister Monica (Dan) Hall, of Rochester; step-sister Gwen Lee, of Stewartville; step-brother Jeff (Ruth) Lee of Lake City; step-brother Mike Lee, of Austin, MN and step-brother Alex (Karen) Lee, of New Richmond, WI; also many step-nieces and step-nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark; her father, Edwin; grandparents; nephew Michael; several aunts and uncles and her special friend Ron Sisson.
Rhonda will be loved and missed by all. Her smile always brightened our days, and she will be remembered forever.
