Rhonda was born in Beaverlodge, AB on July 8, 1963 to Arne and Verna Nordby. She lived in Valhalla Centre, AB until she went to university in Lethbridge to become a music teacher. While attending university, she met Greg Krause and they were married on July 6, 1985. Shortly after they were married, Rhonda received the diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. In 1990, they had their daughter Morgan. In 1991, they moved back to the family farm near Valhalla Centre. Rhonda worked as a piano teacher and was very involved in the community, often playing piano for community events or helping in the local library. She was also very active in volunteering for her church by playing for regular worship services, weddings, and funerals. In 2016, her health began to decline and they moved back to Lethbridge where Rhonda started dialysis. Over the last six years of her life, her health continued to decline while she had many surgeries and treatments. She was strong and courageous through it all and kept her eyes on where she was going when it was all over.
