Rhonda Massaro

Rhonda Marylin Massaro, 74, (nee Slavitt) peacefully passed away on March 13th, 2024 surrounded her family.  

She was born in Philadelphia, Pa to Eugene & Milderd Slavitt on December 24, 1949. Rhonda was the loving mother to Matthew (Anelyn), Marc (Laura) & Helene (Adam Weiner), and beloved Mom-Mom to Evan, Michael, Ethan, Myles, Noah & Beau.  

Rhonda was passionate about her Jewish identity and because of how important this was to her, she worked hard to instill a strong Jewish identity in her children.  

She was also passionate about education, having recently gone back to school to earn a BA & Masters Healthcare Administration. She was an avid cook who had owned a deli and chocolate making business in her younger years. She was also a great hockey mom who schlepped her sons around the tri-state area to many early morning games and late-night practices. Her greatest love was the love of animals, dogs in particular, having rescued over 30 dogs during her lifetime. Moe, Sadie, Charlene & Gretta will miss her dearly.  

Rhonda is preceded in death by her parents, and is survived by her children, grandchildren, dogs and sister Cheryl (Schmilovich).  

Graveside services will be held at 2pm on Friday March 15th at King David Memorial Park in Bensalem, PA. Shiva will be held at Helene & Adam’s house following the service.
