Rachel was born and raised in Somersworth, New Hampshire and was a graduate of the Somersworth High School, and lovingly took care of her mother until her passing. She remained in the Somersworth and Rochester areas and worked for General Electric for thirty-one years until her retirement. Rachel and Ron moved to Lebanon in 2006 to make their home.
In her retirement, Rachel enjoyed making crafts and other handiwork. She and Ron traveled all over the country and especially cherished the time they spent on various cruises they had taken throughout the years. Bingo, fishing, and going to casinos were some other activities she loved doing whenever possible.
Rachel was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and accomplishments and will treasure the many wonderful memories she has created for her family and many dear friends.
Services will be held at a later date in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Somersworth, New Hampshire.
