Henrietta Louise Rhodes was born on Dec. 28, 1926 in Mineral, Kan. to John and Louise Westervelt. She attended grade school in Sherman and Columbus, Kan., and then graduated from high school in Columbus in 1944. Henrietta was 17 years old when she began her teaching career. She started teaching in a one-room schoolhouse with no electricity, no running water, no janitor, no furnace, and she thought it was fun. She started teaching the year she graduated because of the teacher shortage caused by World War II. She continued her own education by correspondence classes, night classes and summer school. While teaching in Meade, she met and then married Earl H. Rhodes on June 1, 1954. He survives. Other survivors include: a son, Bill, Hooker, Okla.; two daughters, Mary Clark, Elk City, Okla., and Nancy McVay, Amarillo; and five grandchildren. Henrietta took a 13-year leave-of-absence from teaching to raise her children. She returned to teaching in 1968. While teaching and being a wife and mother, she took night classes and summer school and earned her masters degree in education from Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Alva. She was in the education field for 33 years; 19 of which were served in USD 300, before retiring in 1989. Henrietta was a member of the United Methodist Church of Protection. She also was a member of the NEA teaching organization, the Kansas Association of School Librarians, Delta Kappa Gamma, Eastern Star, and United Methodist Women. Henrietta was laid to rest Friday, June 15, 1990. Presiding over the service was Rev. Juanita Catlin. Burial was in the Protection Cemetery. Memorials may be sent to the USD 300 Library Fund, in care of the Hatfield-Prusa Funeral Home in Coldwater. Mom's greatest love was "curling up with a good book" and spending time with friends and family. She'll be dearly missed. The Western Star, June 28, 1990
