Rhonda Marcetta Tomblin Hutchinson On October 12, 2024, following a long illness, Rhonda Marcetta Tomblin Hutchinson entered the gates of Heaven singing “Victory is mine, victory today is mine!” Although our hearts are heavy, we know she is celebrating with her father and mother, Arnold and Rena Tomblin, and other family and friends who have gone before her. Rhonda leaves behind the love of her life, her husband of 46 years, George “Marty” Hutchinson and her sister Debra Huffman, Debra’s husband Phillip, and their children Ryan and Cody. Rhonda also leaves behind those who brought her the greatest joy in her life, her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is believed that God’s purpose for motherhood is to draw people deeper into His love and story. Rhonda practiced this belief and lived the words of Joshua 24:15 which reads “...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” As a result, her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were given a foundation on which they have established their own relationships with God. Rhonda and Marty’s family include their son Marty, his wife Jennifer, their children Cayla, Becah and Isaiah; Son, Tim, and his children Preston, Connor and Brooke Mazzeo and her husband Nick, and their children Ava and Nicholas; Son, Eric, his wife Beth, and their children, Emily, Benjamin. Sarah and Ella; Son, Matthew, his wife Tiffany, and their children, Harper, Sawyer and Asher. Rhonda began her early journey on July 20, 1956. Her life was spent here in the tri-state area, graduating from South Point High School in 1974. She supported her community by being a ferocious fan of Marshall’s Thundering Herd and fiercely supporting various political campaigns. Rhonda previously worked as a community service agent for The Putnam Agency, and also as a mail carrier for the USPS. Matthew 7:12 says “So, in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you”. Rhonda demonstrated this in her job at St. Mary’s Medical Center, serving as a patient service representative, especially in the Intensive Care waiting area. Rhonda made an impact on thousands of people during the most stressful and darkest times of their lives, so much so, that she was named the St. Mary’s Medical Center Employee of the Year in 2017. Rhonda loved big and out loud. She was a person who couldn’t do enough for you. She was active in her church, supporting and lifting others up when they needed it. Nothing asked of her was too much. This was because above all things, Rhonda loved God and sought to be an earthly manifestation of Him. Matthew 5:16 says “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” This was our Rhonda. We love her and will miss her terribly. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 19th at 11:00am, at First Baptist Church of Russell, KY, with Pastor Ken Gowin officiating. Henson and Kitchen Mortuary and Cremation Services 6357 East Pea Ridge Road, Huntington, WV near Barboursville.
