It is with deep sadness that we report the untimely passing of Rhonda Arlene Mojkowski, age 64, after suffering an accidental fall at home. Rhonda was a champion of children with disabilities, serving as a special educator early in her career in
Westfield, Massachusetts. Mid-career, Roni wished to serve the children of our U.S. service men and women and did so spectacularly in Guam and then Okinawa Japan. She ended her career as a dedicated and fearless advocate and investigator working for the Massachusetts Department of Education. Rhonda was indeed a fighter, moving quickly through her therapy and recovery after a recent stroke and the unexpected loss of her husband in 2025. Her passing is a devastating loss for our family and for the community.
Rhonda was born February 16, 1961, in Westfield Massachusetts, the third of five children to Charles (Buzzy) Malvin Stevens, Sr. and Hazel Arabelle Stevens also of Westfield Massachusetts. She married Andrew Mojkowski in 1997 and welcomed daughters Victoria and Sophia into a strong and loving family that also included Andrew’s daughters Lydia, Katrina, and Natasha. The family lived in several areas, including North Carolina, Guam, Okinawa Japan, Marblehead and Westfield Massachusetts, and Derry and Salem New Hampshire.
Always to cherish Rhonda’s memory are her beautiful daughters Victoria and Sophia and stepdaughters Natasha, Lydia, Katrina, Alicia and Darla, her sisters Lynnea Hayden, Annette Stevens, and Pamela Stevens, and her much loved nieces and
nephews. She is predeceased by her husband Andrew Mojkowski, her parents Buzzy and Hazel Stevens, and her brother Charles Malvin Stevens, Jr.
Services to honor Rhonda’s life will be held from 4:00 - 6:00 PM on Saturday January 24, 2026, at J.N. Boufford and Sons Funeral Home, 110 Bridge St., Manchester, NH.
