Rhonda Lee (Strong) Canigiani, 62, of Homer City, passed away on October 12, 2020, at St. Andrews Village in Indiana, after a long illness.
Born March 8, 1958, in Lucernemines, Rhonda was a 1976 graduate of Homer Center High School.
She is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 22 years, Gerald (Jeno) Canigiani of Homer City; son, Tyler Wilson; grandson, Hunter Ryan; nieces, Rebecca Strong, Kalyn Everett and Kristy Price; nephew, Quenton Strong; sisters-in-law, Pam Fetterman and Yvette (Frank) Novak; aunt, Eleanor Bellman; cousins Dana Spiardi and Louie Bellman; any many other cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Louise (Dolly) and Leroy Strong; brother, Larry; and parents-in-law, Assunta and Goffredo Canigiani.
Rhonda was a fun-loving person who entertained her friends and family with amusing banter and “colorful” language. She enjoyed beautifying her home and garden and decorating for the holidays. A photo of her brightly-decorated house was once featured in the Indiana Gazette during the Christmas season. She loved playing with her son, grandson, nieces and nephews in her well-kept backyard – watching them splash in the pool – and showering them with gifts. Rhonda also enjoyed spending time with her friends, Jeanne Zimmerman, Debbie Dotts-Anderson, Sue Grower, Linda Kishlock, Joy Patterson, and Joyce Hendrix.
Due to the COVID pandemic there will be no services at this time. Friends can share memories of Rhonda on the Lefdahl Funeral Home website.
