Rhoma Kunkle Fatur of Greensburg, passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 at Emeritus of Latrobe. She was surrounded by her loving husband, their three children and the wonderful caregivers of Emeritus.
Rhoma was born on December 3rd, 1930 as the only child of George and Gladys Kunkle.

When not participating or fundraising for one of her children's activities, Rhoma loved to get away to their cabin in the Laurel Highlands and volunteer at Laurel Hills State Park in Trent, PA. In all of her activities, Rhoma had a profound impact on people and developed many lasting friendships that blossomed as a result.
