Rachel Hilary Ostach, 45, passed away peacefully at the Casey House in Derwood, MD on April 29, 2021. She was born July 30, 1975 in Silver Spring, MD. She was the loving and devoted wife of Christopher E. Drell, Washington, DC. She was preceded in death by her father Jeffrey L. Leary, Silver Spring, MD. She is survived by her mother, Marian Ostach and honorary father, Robert J. Houle, both of Silver Spring, MD. Also surviving are her honorary star sisters, Iris Heise, Kristen Palmer and Patricia Simon all of Washington, DC, and Ellen Lengermann, Bethesda, MD, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Rachel was a leasing consultant most recently for Grady Properties Management, Inc. She was an avid reader and had a love for taking walks through the National Zoo, cheering on the Washington Nationals and was a foodie to no-end! Her non-conformist ways led her to be a free spirit while rocking her favorite pair of Dr. Martens. Rachel’s high energy and infectious laugh will be missed by many friends and relatives for years to come!
