Misty Shuatan Rhodes

Misty Shuatan Rhodes, 63, passed away peacefully on November 17, 2025, in Clermont, Florida. Born on February 6, 1962, in Monroe, Michigan, Misty lived a life marked by strength, devotion, and unwavering love for her family and faith. Misty grew up in Port Washington, Wisconsin, where she graduated with the Class of 1980 from Port Washington High School. Following her years of military service , she pursued her passion for beauty and style by attending cosmetology school and earning her degree. Her natural flair for fashion and home décor became lifelong interests that she joyfully shared with those around her. In 1980, Misty answered the call to serve her country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. During her four years of honorable service, she was stationed in Okinawa and at Camp Lejeune. Rising to the rank of Lance Corporal, Misty embodied the discipline and dedication of a proud Marine—qualities that would remain with her throughout her life. For 43 years, Misty shared an enduring and loving marriage with her husband, Tim Rhodes. Together they built a warm and welcoming home filled with laughter, faith, and deep familial bonds. Though Tim preceded her in death earlier this year, their legacy lives on through their five children: Erin Webb of Webster, Florida; Amber Wells of Croom, Florida; Kristen Jones of Bushnell, Florida; Ashly Martin of Bushnell, Florida; and Tyler Rhodes of Webster, Florida. Misty was a devoted grandmother to ten grandchildren—Bryce, Brayden, Dylan, Parker, Pyper, Casey, Willow, Colton, Sage, and Rhett—each of whom brought her immense pride and joy. She was also a beloved big sister to her younger brother Al Jacks of Okeechobee, Florida. Her extended family included numerous cousins, nieces and nephews, and close family friends with whom she shared cherished memories and meaningful connections. Misty was preceded in death by her parents: Shirley and Albert Walter Jacks A woman of deep faith and compassion, Misty found spiritual strength in her relationship with Jesus Christ. In later years, she attended services at The Bridge Church in Linden, Florida alongside Tim whenever possible. Known for her heartfelt prayers and unwavering belief in their power, Misty was always ready to offer spiritual support to anyone who asked. Despite facing challenges such as vision loss later in life, Misty remained resilient and full of grace. She adapted by listening to audiobooks at night—a testament to her enduring love for stories—and continued to find joy in life’s simple pleasures. Whether giving manicures to her daughters or enjoying shopping trips together, Misty created lasting memories through everyday moments. She had a special gift for giving—thoughtful presents that reflected how well she knew and loved those around her. Her generosity wasn’t measured by size or cost but by the care behind each gesture. Her family will forever remember the warmth of her smile and the comfort of her steady presence. A memorial service celebrating Misty’s life will be held at Purcell Funeral Home in Bushnell, Florida. She will be laid to rest at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell. Details will be shared with family and friends. May Misty’s memory bring comfort to all who knew her and serve as a lasting reminder of a life well lived. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.purcellfuneralhome.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Purcell Funeral Home, Bushnell, Florida.
