RHODA 
“RHODIKA
” 
WEISS, 88, of 
Phoenix, Ariz., 
died Nov. 23, 2019. 
She was a 
vibrant woman, 
one who literally lit up the 
room and was a definite head 
turner whenever she entered. 
Rhodika Cosmetics was 
her biggest accomplishment. 
It was her passion, changing 
many lives for the better. Her 
immeasurable compassion 
and great understanding were 
astounding. 
She loved and adored her 
two daughters. She was a huge 
fan of her son-in-law, Alex, 
who she thought was the kind-
est and most gentle human 
being she’
d ever known.
Four years ago, when she 

was diagnosed with stage 
4 colon cancer, she was 
given six months to live. She 
fought the fight her way: the 
holistic way, which extended 
her life another four years. 
Rhoda was a proud woman 
who believed there was no 
obstacle that couldn’
t be 
overcome.
During the last days of 
her life, she would try to 
speak about how strong the 
children really are. Daughter 
Debra said, “Mom, we are 
all strong and have survived 
the school of hard knocks.” 
Rhoda responded, “Yes, sur-
vivors with a smile!”
Mrs. Weiss is survived by 
her daughter, Lauren Weiss 
of Phoenix; daughter and 
son-in-law, Debra and Alex 
Winkler of West Bloomfield.

She was the beloved wife 
of the late Herbert Lenchner; 
loving daughter of the late 
Ida and the late Meyer 
Kramer.
