On Monday, Sept. 28, 2020, our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Rinda Calhoun of Howe, Indiana, passed from this life into the arms of Jesus at Dupont Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

She fought a good fight, she finished her race, she kept the faith. Devoted to her family, she was a woman of unconditional love and support.

Coming from a large family of 11, Rinda Marie (Polly) Calhoun was born on March 7, 1936, to Clark and Nannie (Amburgey) Polly in Hindman, Kentucky.

She married Ergle Calhoun on May 12, 1955, in Wolcottville, Indiana, saying "he was the prettiest man I ever laid eyes on."

Rinda loved going to church all her life and was attending New Freedom Baptist Church. Her life was devoted to serving Jesus and others.
