Rachel graduated from Eastern Mennonite College in 1959. She spent her life dedicated to the alleviation of suffering of others. As a child she contracted rheumatic fever which gave her a special insight into the suffering of the sick. After graduating as a registered nurse (RN) from Riverside hospital she worked for over 40 years as a RN and all those under her gentle and expert care were very lucky. Rachel loved animals, whether it was a sick deer or a wounded bird, she did what she could to help and loved her pets most of all animals. She was an educator, serving as Matron at Western Mennonite High School, serving as a teaching nurse and teaching other nurses throughout her career. She loved her grandchildren most of all. Her brilliance and compassion benefitted all that who knew her and her sweet, kind, caring demeanor, brought joy to everyone. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium.
