Ronda Lea Boothe Mabry, a beloved mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Apr. 20, 2026, in Charleston, WV, following a sudden illness at the age of 62.
Born on May 5, 1963, in Richwood, WV, Ronda’s life was a shining example of love, dedication, and unwavering loyalty to her family and community.
A graduate of James River High School, Class of 1981, and the Alleghany Regional Hospital School of Radiology Technology, Ronda devoted over 25 years to her career as a Mammography Technician at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center. Her professional journey also included valued time at Winchester Medical Center and Greenbrier Physicians, where her expertise and caring spirit deeply touched those she served. Throughout her career, Ronda was known for holding everything together with her straightforward, warm, and protective nature – qualities that made her not only a trusted colleague but a cherished presence wherever she went.
Ronda’s vibrant personality was marked by a bubbly and outspoken spirit that could light up any room. She cared deeply for her family, fiercely protective and loyal, especially to her husband of 40 years, Gary Lee Mabry. She found her greatest pride and joy in her children, Katherine Ayers (Logan) and Sarah Honaker (Ryan), and her beloved grandchildren, Harper Ayers, Sawyer Ayers, Asher Honaker, and Kyler Honaker, who brought immense happiness into her life. Family was everything to Ronda, and her loving devotion was a constant source of strength for all who knew her.
Beyond her professional and family commitments, Ronda had a rich tapestry of interests that filled her days with joy and purpose. She delighted in playing piano for her church, a gift she shared generously with her community. Her love for camping allowed her to create treasured memories surrounded by nature and laughter. She enjoyed reading, shopping, and cherished moments of tranquility through naps, embracing life’s simple pleasures with heartfelt enthusiasm.
She was the daughter of Ronald Keith and Carolyn Sue Altizer Boothe and was surrounded by a close-knit family including her brother, Duane Allen Boothe (Lisa); sister, Beverly McCallister (Dan); alongside numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends, Ronda’s presence has left an indelible mark of kindness, warmth, and vibrant energy.
