Rhonda Lorraine Hathaway

Rhonda was born February 10, 1964, in Denver, Colorado to Ronald and Virginia Werth and was the oldest of four siblings. She married her high school sweetheart and love of her life Kevin Hathaway September 14th, 1985.

Rhonda grew up in Commerce City, Colorado. She attended Adams City High School and started her working career at our family’s restaurant Gala Gardens. Rhonda always had a creative spirit whether it was in graphic design, drawing or crafting with her grandchildren. She loved it all. She also had a high interest in law enforcement and worked for Brighton and Commerce City Police Departments before retiring in 2000.

After retirement she couldn’t stay still and found herself back working at our family restaurant where she helped run and established many forever friendships. A few years after that Rhonda and her mother Virgina opened an event center in which she enjoyed. She loved to embrace the small-town community and extended her heart to the residents of Commerce City. She was a highly respected member of the Commerce City Business Association and the Commerce City Rotary where she contributed and enriched the sense of community.

Rhonda always needed something to do so she took up gardening. She planted a beautiful garden in her backyard in which she took great pride in maintaining it year after year. She also loved to travel whether it be on cruises with her husband to the Caribbean or camping in the Colorado mountains with her family. She loved it all! Her biggest joy was juggling her grandkids' sports and activities. She would travel the world for them. Her love for them was monumental.

Rhonda was a fighter, who never gave up or gave in. She was strong, resilient, stubborn, full of energy and would always challenge everyone. There was never an obstacle too big, a hurdle too high or a mountain too big that she couldn’t beat, her limitations were never her weakness but her strength.

Rhonda is survived by her husband Kevin, mother Virgina (Ray), her three kids, Sarah (Chris) Sisneros, Chris (Amanda) Hathaway, Kayla (Bradd) Kothe and her beloved six grandchildren, Julianne, Diem, Emma, Kinley, Brayden, and Micah and her brothers Ronnie, Vince, and Brett. Plus, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and numerous friends whom she loved very much. She is preceded in death by her grandparents and loving father Ronald Werth.
