Dona Rhoads, beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, GiGi and friend passed away suddenly on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at the age of 65. She is survived by her mother Julia Fitzsimmons, her husband Robert Rhoads and her sister Diane McGarvey (Barry). She is also survived by her three children. Kristin (Aaron), Jacklin (Joseph), James (Jenna) and the three grandchildren who lit up her life Audrey, Caleb, and Nathan. Dona was predeceased by her father James Fitzsimmons and her grandmother Marie Leventhal.

Dona spent her life in Bucks County and raised her children in Ivyland, PA. She was a proud graduate of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Archbishop Wood, and Temple University where she studied accounting. Dona had a never-ending sense of generosity to those she knew and those she didn’t, utilizing every holiday and hard time as an opportunity to give back. She spent summers with her family in Brigantine, NJ relaxing on the beach- never without an umbrella and a book.

Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Nativity of our Lord Church, 625 W. Street Rd. Warminster Thursday October 20th at 11 am where her family will receive guests from 9:30 until Mass time.

In lieu of flowers, the Rhoads family would appreciate contributions to the Epilepsy Foundation 919 Walnut St. Suite 700, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
