Rhonda Eugenia Carr was born in Tampa, Florida on March 17, 1964, to Ulysses Brooks and the late Mrs. Dorothy Cook-Dukes. As a dedicated military spouse, she traveled the world with grace and resilience. From different coasts to distant lands, she turned every new house into a warm home. Her strength was the foundation of our family’s journey, navigating the challenges of military life with unwavering support and a courageous spirit.

More than anything, she was a mother who led by example. She was deeply committed to her children, instilling in them the values of responsibility, integrity, and a "family first" persona. Her children are her greatest legacy, carrying forward the lessons of love and loyalty she taught them every day.

She is survived by her best friend, loving and dedicated husband, Dr. Charlie Carr, Jr. with whom she shared a lifetime of memories, laughter, and an unbreakable bond of friendship and love.  She was a proud and nurturing mother who poured her heart into her children, Marquis A. Bell and his wife, Sasha Bell (daughter-in-law), Charles C. Carr, II and his wife, Grace Carr (daughter-in-law) and Ms. Cheridan B. Carr (daughter). Her greatest joy and the lights of her life, her grandchildren, Zionah Bell, Nekhali Bell, Amara Bell and Aziah Bell.  Mrs. Carr is also survived by father, Ulysses Brooks; her siblings, Shannon Brooks (sister), Ulysses Brooks (brother), Shawn Crawley (sister) and Clarence Crawley, Jr. (brother) and her many other brothers and sisters whose lives she touched. A host of aunts and uncles who provided wisdom and guidance throughout her life. Numerous nieces and nephews who she adored and cheered for at every milestone.
