Farewell to ‘Queen’ Rhonda Mik, a Tailem Bend treasure
A much-loved community member involved in everything from the bakery to sporting clubs is being remembered fondly after her passing at 94.
Tailem Bend has farewelled one of its most cherished community figures with the peaceful passing of Rhonda Mik on June 25 at the age of 94.
Known affectionately as Mrs Mik, Aunty Rhonda, Rhonny or simply Rhonda, she was the much-loved wife of the late Dave, mother and mother-in-law of Brian (deceased) and Michelle, Chris and Judy, and Darren and Fouziah.
She was adored by her grandchildren Nikki, Scott, Kim, Tylor, Jarrah, Lawson, Grady, Tyson, and great-grandchildren Kaiden, Charlotte and Noah.
To the town, Rhonda was more than a family matriarch – she was an icon of community life.
Murray Bridge News spoke to longtime friend Pauline Merritt, who shared heartfelt memories of their deep and decades-long friendship.
