RHONDA D. SHEBANEK, 55, of Winfield, Kansas, passed away Monday, April 13, 2015 at William Newton Hospital in Winfield.

Born on May 13, 1959 in Wichita, Kansas, she was the daughter of John Edward and Diana Joyce (Graham) Shebanek.

Rhonda resided at the Winfield State Hospital from 1961 to 1998, then moved to CCL which is now Easter Seals Capper Foundation. She liked attending the day center at Meyer Hall, as well as many other community activities. She enjoyed going to the Sedgwick County Zoo, picnics in local parks, and going to the movies, bowling, and shopping. Rhonda attended the Spiritual Enhancement Circle at the Lutheran Church in Arkansas City.
She had joined her housemates in volunteer projects consisting of collecting aluminum cans and donating them to the Boy Scouts; and collecting needed items and delivering them to the Humane Society. Rhonda had recently attended the annual Equine Fest in Wichita. Her ultimate enjoyment was the freedom to roll around the house and being ornery, causing commotion so she could see the reaction of the housemates.

Her family includes:
Her stepmother: Shirley Shebanek; Mrylene, a special housemate she had developed a friendship with; and her caregivers.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Brian.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M., Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at Miles Funeral Service. Interment will follow at Highland Cemetery. A viewing will be held on Friday, April 17, 2015 from 11 to 5.
