Witzel too said animals and animal rescues were Rhodes’ passion.
“That was her. It was a part of who she was,” Witzel said.
She will be missed greatly, Witzel said.
“She’s a staple here,” Witzel added. The Witzels were in Hoopeston on Thursday morning meeting with the employees. Deanna Witzel said she was in shock when she learned the news Wednesday.
Witzel said Rhodes made a difference in a lot of lives.
“She was just an amazing person,” Witzel said.
