She grew up in Fargo and attended school at Jefferson Elementary and graduated from Fargo North High School in 1982.

On June 6, 1993, Ronda was united in marriage to Robert Darwin Smith. They lived in Fargo and then moved to Barnesville in 1999. Ronda's family was her first priority. She was a hands-on mom and cared so much for her family and those around her. Her faith, love, and strength were only a few characteristics she instilled upon her children. She was active throughout her life in her faith. Ronda will be missed by so many she loved.

Ronda is survived by her husband Robert "Bob" of Barnesville, MN; two children, Josh Smith and Anna Smith; her mother, Dorla Hanson, Moorhead, MN; siblings: David Hanson, Crosby, MN and Matt (Tami) Hanson, West Fargo, ND; sisters-in-law, Mary Beth (Albert) Corffey, McCool Jct, NE and Cathy (Chris) Broughton, York, NE. Several nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews, also survive Ronda.

She was preceded in death by her dad Lloyd; father and mother-in-law, Bob and Fern Smith; and her grandparents.
