Rhonda Jill Hanna was born August 3, 1961 in Oskaloosa, Iowa the daughter of Paul and Donna (Livezey) Hanna.
She was raised in the New Sharon, Iowa area and graduated from North Mahaska High School. Some of Rhonda’s first jobs included baby sitting and working at Boomsma Egg Farm and the A&W. She later became a C.N.A., working at various local health care agencies until she was forced to retire from Wesley Life due to health concerns.
