An old photo of Rhonda M. DuPont holding her son Ryan R. Peeler.
On January 19th, Rhonda DuPont, a wonderful woman that I grew up with, was brutally murdered by her own son, Ryan, in a psychotic rage, as the paranoid schizophrenia he suffers finally claimed him for good.
She fought a lonely battle for years to get him the help he needed, and died trying to simply deliver food to him as he sat in a cheap, lonely motel room – the best she could manage for him as she faced one crushing set back after another.
Her tragedy immediately became tabloid fodder in the Upstate New York area where we both grew up, and now threatens to become a complete farce as her family hasn’t the money to provide her with a grave, and some members have become publicly belligerent about the insult to injury this financial issue presents.
I take care of the memorial website linked above, and noticed the posted comment (Journal page) referring to the financial issue yesterday (March 25). Her sister posted that the amount needed is $1,000, and I am hoping that this amount will now be raised by decent and caring folks who can appreciate the justice in allowing Rhonda’s memory to be spared the indignity of a public spectacle surrounding her family’s inability to pay for her plot and burial expenses.
Any and all donations will be properly administered through a 3rd party fund manager, and directed to the Oak Hill Cemetery for purchase of the plot itself, as well as to the appropriate professional recipients for the specific burial expenses involved.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you will find it in your heart to add to the funds being gathered on Rhonda’s behalf.
