She married Paul on March 3, 1946 and they enjoyed many life adventures together until his death in 2013.

Rachel came from a very humble, but strong spirit of family ancestors that came to the American Colonies in 1768 from Switzerland.
She led a life that brought her intense trials, but her trust in Jesus carried her through, gave her many dreams that were blessings, and strengthened her beliefs.
She nurtured the love of Jesus by example throughout her walk in this life.
