Rhonda Darlene Morton passed unexpectedly at her home in Hoffman on September 13, 2025. Rhonda was born on December 12, 1959, in Henryetta to Kenneth and Ruth Sumpter, the third of three daughters. She graduated from Henryetta High School in 1978. She met her future husband, Clay Morton, the summer after high school graduation, and within a year of meeting, the two of them were married on July 6, 1979.

Rhonda worked at Wal-mart after graduation, then was hired by the Troy Aikman Center for a few years before taking a job with the Henryetta Public School system, where she was employed from 1994 to 2023. She loved taking care of people and enjoyed cooking for the students at the elementary school, giving special attention to those children in need. She later was hired to work for the school system’s custodial department. She was outgoing and loved her daily interactions with both teachers and students. She also enjoyed working with best friend Sharon at the basketball game concession stand and spent many a Friday night manning the ticket booth at the Henryetta High School football games. She was a proud Henryetta Fighting Hen.
