Rhoda was always a fun conversationalist at family get togethers, she had a great memory for facts and information. We always wanted to be on her team when we played Trivia games because she always knew all the answers. She was a classy dresser and a beautiful woman with a good heart.
We are honored to have known her.

I have the best memories of working with your Mom on all of those BBW Bowling Tournament Shows. She knew every song ever written and she told great stories. She was an enormously talented woman who never sought the spotlight. She was kind, thoughtful and she was devoted to her family. Bob and I send our condolences to you Caroline and Eileen and to your entire family.

Eileen & Caroline,

So sorry to see this. my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies.

Rhoda was a huge part of our JWI Tournament community. A wonderful sense of humor and the unbelievable knowledge of almost every song ever written. I cherish our memories together.

The most important part of her life were you two, the grandkids and the extended family. She was never at a loss to let us know what was happening in your lives.

SHe will be missed by many.

I met 'Rhoda' just a few times. I came to know her well through my years of friendship with you, Eileen. And you were also special to my mother. You treated her like an extension of your family, taking her out to lunch every time you came through Denver and traveling into a winter snow storm to attend her memorial service 12 years ago this week. I appreciate you and Mark so much.

Thinking about you all today. Rick and I are sorry we could not be there in person.

Deidra Wager and Rick Munsen.

To Eileen and the entire Glasser family; please accept our condolences for the loss of your mother.
Your tribute was lovingly written and showed, not only how much you loved her, but what a loving
mother she was to all of you. In sympathy, Steve and Sharon Huling

The world has definitely lost some light due to your dear mother’s passing . I only met her once and if I had to describe her in one word , it would be “spunky” . She was lucky to have had such a wonderful family to rely on . The love that came to her was directly related to the love she had for you .. it came bouncing back when she needed it most . My thoughts are with you Eileen and your family as you transition to life without her in it. Love, Laurie Rosen Ritt
