I love serving our families and it really give me a sense of pride and honor to be able to sit with families during one of the most difficult times of their lives. These families become my family.” Knowing at a very young age this is what she wanted to do and after becoming a wife and a mother, she applied to Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Wheeling, Illinois in 2010. She moved to Chicago for a year and graduated with honors in 2011. After returning to Michigan and fulfilling the requirements, Rachel was offered a position as a licensed funeral director for Gorsline Runciman.
