April 28, 1964 - May 11, 2008
Rhonda Voy Norrell of Matador left this life to begin a new one with our Lord on Sunday, May 11, 2008, Mother's Day. Rhonda was born in Matador on April 28, 1964 to Hollis Alvis Stephens and Myrna Voy Moore Stephens. She attended and graduated from Motley County in 1982 and West Texas State University with a B.S. in Education in 1986. Rhonda taught in Spur, Amherst, and Patton Springs. She married Michael Wayne Norrell on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1988. They were blessed with two beautiful children, daughter Taelor Voy, 16, and son Tanner Wayne, 14. Although Rhonda was very fond of animals, sports, long afternoon naps, Dancing with the Stars, and the People magazine cross-word, her family was her life. She loved her kids fiercely and adored her time with Mike and the kids, especially during the summer. Rhonda was an inspiration to many because of the way she refused to let her illness dictate her life and her positive approach to living 0each and every day to the fullest!
Rhonda is preceded in death by her father, H.A., maternal grandfather Foy Moore, and paternal grandparents Hollis Alvis Stephens, Sr. and Cordelia Stephens Dixon.
Rhonda is also survived by her mother Myrna of Matador, brothers James Stephens, his wife Ruthie, and their sons Jared and Kenesaw of Roaring Springs, Chad Stephens and his wife Cheryl and daughter Lillie of Idalou, her grandmother Bertha Moore of Matador, and mother and father-in-law and God Parents Wayne and Rita Norrell of Sunray. Rhonda will be missed by her extended families at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Matador and at Patton Springs and countless students she has touched through the years.
