Rhunet was so kind and thoughtful.  All of my interactions with her were wonderful.  This is a lovely person who will be greatly missed.  For years I saw her every week at Connie's.  I send my condolences to all of her family.  Margaret Ulmer

My how memories flooded my mind as I read the obituary of Rhunet--for over 50 years ago our paths met in Beauty School.  Such a gracious Lady and we both loved Gospel Music and her talents far exceeded hairdressing, just another way to connect with people and share Love..May sweet Peace knowing God makes no mistakes, follow you in the days that lie ahead.  Philippians 1:21
