On-Site Crematory Since 1996   •   Your loved one never leaves our care.

Rhoda Ann (Vines) Goldstrohm

Rhoda Ann Goldstrohm (Vines) was called to join our Heavenly Father in the beautiful garden of Heaven on September 5, 2023.  She joins her parents John and Emma Vines and her brother William (Bill) Vines in eternal happiness.  She is survived by her beloved husband of 55 years James Goldstrohm; her three children: Claire Pingree, Emily Belchick (Tom), and Paul Goldstrohm (Jennifer); her adoring grandchildren: Raymond, Jonathan, Ryan, Caitlin, Emma, Liam, and Grace; and her siblings Diane Sedita and John Vines (Michelle).  She was blessed with a multitude of lifelong friendships.  Rhoda lived a life of enduring faith and love of Jesus Christ and Mary Mother of God.  She was a devoted wife, sister, mother, aunt, and grandmother to her family, who loved her dearly.  As the family matriarch, she humbly provided whatever was needed.  Rhoda had a heart of service and a calling to mentor youth.  Her lifelong commitment to the Girl Scouts of America and volunteer work with St. Robert Bellarmine parish was commendable.  Never wanting or seeking recognition, her countless works were tribute enough.

    Even though I didn’t know Rhoda for that long.. She always brought a smile to my face and a laugh with a funny comment about a particular situation that we were in. She was a wonderful woman with a huge heart and cheerful welcoming hello for anyone she met. I will miss her greatly. May she be in the caring and loving arms of Mary and walk in the path with our Lord Jesus Christ. In his heavenly home..
