Rhoda Marie (Iversen) Schjodt was born Jan. 27, 1928, in Omaha, to Alfred and Asta (Jorgensen) Iversen. She graduated from Underwood, Iowa High School.

Rhoda attended Dana College, receiving a two-year elementary teaching degree. She taught 3rd grade in Shelby, Iowa until she married Harald A Schjodt on May 29, 1949, and moved to Blair. She was a loving and hard-working farmer’s wife for 59 years.

Rhoda was very musical. She loved sharing the fact that she and eight other friends played in a triple-triple trio piano concert. While in college she sang in the Dana College Choir and took piano lessons. She directed the church choir in Shelby, Iowa, taught piano lessons out of her home, led music classes at District 91 Sutherland Country School, and loved singing and playing piano with her family.

Rhoda was involved in Washington County 4-H, teaching many girls sewing and cooking, gardening and homemaking. She was very instrumental in helping the 4-Hers win trips to the State Fair for the song contest.

Rhoda was very involved in her church. She played the piano, taught Sunday School, was active in the local circle, helped serve many meals, was a sponsor for Luther League, was an active participant of the prayer chain, Love Days Quilt Ministry, and the Search Bible Study group for over 40 years.

Rhoda was also a member of the Dana College Round Robin, a group of eight women who wrote letters to each other for over 70 years.

Rhoda loved to craft, and tatting was her expertise. She tatted lace doilies of all sizes and kinds, and decorated greeting cards. Sending cards and letters, notes and pick-me-ups was Rhoda’s Love Language.

In addition to her children, Rhoda helped raise her husband’s younger sister Carol (Schjodt) Hundtofte, and her niece, Karen (Hundtofte) Cole.

Rhoda is survived by daughters and sons-in-law, Sondra (Mark) Buell, Murdock; Kay Lynne (Mark) Dickinson, Blair; Sharla (Paul) Gosker, Blair; and Sharie (Doug) Jenson, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Daughters-in-law, Kay Schjodt, Debbie Schjodt, Blair; brother and sisters-in-law, James (Marge) Iversen, Decorah, Iowa; Vern (Martha) Hundtofte, Co.
