HEYBURN – Rhonda Rae Bell, a 65-year-old resident of Heyburn, was called peacefully home to the angels on February 6, 2025, after a brief, but courageous battle with cancer.

Rhonda was a devoted and wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and friend. She was a positive light always full of hope and kindness.

Rhonda was born September 13, 1959, in Burley, Idaho. She attended school in the Burley area and was a spirited child. After school, she moved to Colorado and met Jim Crawford and they were married in Colorado Springs. She spent some time traveling, including living in Saudi Arabia. The couple soon had a daughter, Lindsey. They later divorced. Rhonda moved back home to the Burley area where she met the love of her life, Kerry Bell, while on an outing chopping wood in the forest with friends. She always said how handsome he was that day. The two were married June 30, 1985, and they welcomed a son, Skyler, to the family the following year. Rhonda was a wonderful, present mother. Kerry and Rhonda raised their family in Heyburn and ran their glass business working side by side for many years.

Rhonda loved spending time with her family, fishing, gardening and animals. She was an avid reader and loved summertime. She was an intelligent, curious person always asking questions. Rhonda was impressively strong for her small stature and the first to help with a project.

Rhonda touched many people with her generosity and kindness. She was one of the most hopeful and positive people, even in the most difficult times. Rhonda‘s children, grandchildren, and family were her proudest accomplishments. Her grandchildren were her heart and she absolutely adored them!

She was also the best dog grandma to several grand-pups over the years.

Rhonda is deeply missed and survived by her husband, Kerry, of over 39 years; her daughter, Lindsey (Kirby) Hale; her son, Skyler (Shaylee) Bell; her cherished grandchildren, Khane, Kyndal and Rhett Hale and Masyn and Ridge Bell; her mother, Patti (Mike) Blankenship; several siblings and many nephews and nieces.

Rhonda was preceded in death by her grandparents, Myron and Theo Harris; her father, Lloyd Warr; a nephew, Joshua Cofer; and a few very special friends.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, February 21, 2025, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, located at 1350 East 16th Street, in Burley. Family and friends will be received for visitation from 1 until 1:45 p.m. prior to the service.
