Rhonda L. Kline
General Manager
Rhonda has worked in the legal field for thirty years as a paralegal ultimately working for herself for the last five years. Rhonda has always found her heart in the service of others as a volunteer for various organizations such as CASA (Court Appointed Child Advocate), the crisis hotline, and the women's shelter. However, Rhonda found her passion to assist the families of the fallen while serving as the SW Colorado Blue to Gold Star Liaison. She eagerly served in this capacity for twelve years while her son and daughter-in-law served in the Armed Forces. As the first civilian point of contact for the families, immediately following notification, she would assist military families to navigate their grief as well as the system.
