Rhonda Fairchild

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rhonda Potts Fairchild. She was a loving wife, mother, and daughter. She was also a caring friend to anyone that had the privilege of getting to know her. She constantly gave of her time, energy, and finances to care for her loved ones. Besides her career as a Certified Intellectual Property Paralegal at Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, she had several different organizations that she volunteered her time with. Rhonda was an active participant within Chevron Phillips as a First Responder, Floor Warden, and a Floor Safety Member. She was also a volunteer with the Jane Phillips Society and Voluntary Protection Program. Rhonda and her family were regular volunteers at the Huntsville County Fair, where, besides tattooing the rabbits for showing, her favorite part was getting to know and work with the parents and kids. The Walker County 4-H Rabbit Club and Walker County Fair Association are both setting up scholarships in her name. She was also active with the Community Emergency Response Team, working the radio or helping in the command center front office during severe storms or inclement weather, including most recently with Hurricane Harvey. She loved baseball and football, always cheering on her hometown teams. She enjoyed playing softball all through school and into her 30’s. She was a mostly self-taught guitar player, and while it had been years since playing with a band, still loved to pick it up every now and then. Her love of music was evident throughout her life. Any time there was a dance floor to go out on, she was usually one of the first to be there. She was a creative soul who loved making handmade gifts for loved ones and had a real knack for creating jewelry. She had a high appreciation for the natural world around her. She loved the night sky, camping & fishing, the beach (any body of water, really) - anything that reminded her of our Creator. She loved Christ from an early age, even as a teenager being instrumental in getting her family in church. She served in children’s ministry for many years, a place that really gave her love of children a chance to shine. She met her husband in church, and they raised their three children to serve God, something all three of them have chosen to do with their lives. There is no doubt in any of our hearts that she is now dancing on streets of gold. She is survived by her husband, Quentin Fairchild, their three children, Raquel, Sara, and Ricky Fairchild, her parents, Roland and Edna Potts, her brothers, Alan Potts and his wife Nelda, Ryan Potts and his wife Jamie, an aunt, and lots of cousins, nieces, and nephews. Her life touched many others and her presence will be missed greatly, but we all look forward to seeing her again in paradise.
