Mack Rhodes, age 96, died peacefully at his home on Friday, March 20, 2026. He is preceded in death by his sister, Hazel Rhodes and brothers, Hughie Rhodes and Kreba Rhodes.

Mack Rhodes lived a life defined by love, faith, service, and joy. He shared 77 wonderful years of marriage with his first and only love Rosa Lee Rhodes, a testament to a deep and enduring devotion that stood as an inspiration to all who knew them.

A faithful member of Beulaville PFWB Church, now known as Pathway Church, Mack served his church family with humility and dedication as both a deacon and trustee. His steady presence, kind spirit, and willingness to serve left a lasting impact on his congregation.

Mack proudly served his country in the National Guard as a cook, where he cared for others in a quiet but meaningful way. That same caring nature carried through every aspect of his life. He was a farmer with agriculture and livestock and supported many other farmers through his role as a service man.

He found great joy on the golf course, where he spent many happy years playing the game he loved. As a member of the Southeastern Seniors Golf Association, Mack built friendships and created memories that he treasured deeply.

A man of many passions, Mack was also a pilot who embraced the freedom of the skies, and he loved the thrill and laughter of water skiing at White Lake.  These moments reflected his adventurous spirit and love of life.

Above all, Mack will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his strong faith, and his gentle, steady presence. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

He will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

He is survived by his wife, Rosa Lee Whaley Rhodes of Beulaville; daughters, Susan Barwick and husband Neil of Kenansville, Sonya Jones and husband Kenny of Beulaville; son, Jerry Rhodes and wife Joette of Beulaville; seven grandchildren; fourteen great grandchildren; and a loving cat Missy.
