Although she did not have any biological children of her own, she was involved in helping many children. She was a foster parent for many years. She also kept family members children while their parents had to work. She loved babies. Bingo was an activity she truly enjoyed and continued to participate in this year. That same enthusiasm carried into family, friendships, and community. Rachel will be remembered for her tenacity and fun for life.
