Who I Am – Darlene Rhody

Darlene was born and raised on a farm outside of Neustadt. Following high school she was employed at the Royal Bank in Hanover, for New Life Mills as well as Cameron Funeral Home in Walkerton. When Nathan purchased the funeral home in Chesley, she joined him there to help out. When not at the funeral home, Darlene loves being Nana to Brooklyn, Landon, Jackson, Cooper and Hazel!

Who I Am – Terri-Ann Mattiasson

Terri-Ann was born in Ottawa and raised in Manitoba. From 2000 – 2009 she was pastor at St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chesley. Upon returning to the Chesley area in 2014 she joined Nathan and his family as a ‘wanna be’ Rhody! Terri-Ann helps with day to day office operations as well as serving as Celebrant, designing and implementing creative ceremonies that reflect the wishes and beliefs of the deceased and their family. Terri-Ann can be contacted any time at terriann@rhodyfamily.com.

Who I Am – Morris Emke

Morris is a familiar face to many in the Grey-Bruce area. He has been in and around the funeral home since he was a teenager working with Vern Emke. He served as a paramedic and along with his wife Evelyn raised their family beside the funeral home all the while continuing to help at the funeral home when needed. Now that he is retired we still keep him busy. His knowledge and friendliness serves all of us well as a valuable member of our family. Morris is also a car enthusiast and can be seen, in the summer months, caring for his ‘antique.’
