It is with great sadness that I announce to our class that my close friend, Rhonda Saks Brown, passed away on Friday, July 21, 2023. She was a wonderful, fun, and very bright woman who held many prominent positions for many major retail corporations in her stellar career. It was an honor to be her close friend and to just know her. She will be truly missed.

Liz,
This is sad news indeed. I'm sorry we weren't in touch over the years and I really hope she had a wonderful life.
Please call me any time, late nights are fine. I would love to hear about you! My phone 707-996-5840.
Big hug to you!

I remember her as a friendly and encouraging classmate. zl'Rick Zitelman
Rhonda was a very near and dear friend. My parents were close friends with her parents (Harry and Mildred), and her brother Steve was, and is, my brother Marc's best friend. I can still hear her mother calling out with her NY accent, "Rhondala, Ricky is here" when I would pick her up in the morning to walk to Pyle.
Rhonda had a very successful career in shoewear and was a powerhouse in the industry. She was generous with her time and a wonderful mentor to my three daughters when they started Soom Foods 10 years ago. Rhonda was thoughtful, kind, smart, and very insightful. We will miss her dearly.
She and I had talked about attending our 50th Reunion this October, but sadly, she won't be there. For all of us that are able, let's do our best to go. So many of our co-graduates are not around to join us, so let's make sure we are there to see each other.

I remember Rhonda fondly and will miss her at the reunion.
I also want to pay tribute to Nancy Waks and Jon David who were such a big part of my growing up years.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion and remembering those who are with us in spirit.
xoxo,
