In her free time, she enjoyed playing tennis, working jigsaw puzzles, doing cross-stitch and reading. She was an avid bridge player for many years and enjoyed her many bridge friends. She also stayed in touch with her high school friends and enjoyed attending reunions and luncheons with them. Her faith was important to her. She was a devoted member of Five Lakes Church she regularly attended bible studies.
Rachel was a kind and caring person always putting others needs before her own. When it came to family, her grandchildren were the light of her life. They spent hours playing games, laughing and loving their time together.
Rachel was very independent and was proud of having lived in 6 different states during her lifetime. While living in Florida, she met a man named Bill Knecht and soon knew they were meant to be together. They married in 1987 and remained together until his passing in 2005.
