In Loving Memory of Deborah Lois Rhoden, 48, of Lake Wales

Date:

Deborah Lois Rhoden, 48

It is with a heavy heart that we share that our loving sister Deborah Rhoden passed away Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at the University of Health Shands Hospital due to complications from her lifelong battle with heart failure.

She was born October 13, 1976 to the late George and LaJune Rhoden. She grew up in Lake Wales with her sister Jennifer Rhoden and brothers George Rhoden, and David Rhoden. She graduated from the University of Florida in 2008, where she became a lifelong Gator fan. After leaving Gainesville for a brief time upon graduation, she returned to UF for work and had been with the college for the last 10 years.

She was a devoted and loving aunt to her nieces, Abigail, Hailey, Emily, Piper, and nephew, Noah. In her death, we have had nothing but support extended from her friends, family, and coworkers.

A visitation/service will be held at Forest Meadows Cemetery Chapel in Gainesville. Following the visitation entombment will be in Forest Meadows Cemetery in Gainesville. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.marionnelsonfuneralhome.com.
