It was a beautiful day, with beautiful family, remembering Rachel.

Rachel was an amazing person.
She taught me how to lead, be courageous, do the right thing all the time and believe in God.
I sure miss her. May she rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

May you find comfort and peace knowing that Mary as we call her is now with Our Almighty God. We missed her and will always be in our memories. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to care and serve your family during her last few months.

I loved her so much! I will always remember her box of books. When ever I went to her house she would let me pick a book out of the box. It would make my day every time.

Grief is the last act of LOVE we have to give those we loved.

Where there is deep grief there was great love.

Thank you for your mentorship and friendship,
Your Lisa.

Dear ones,

A great light has dimmed for us. The whole world will miss Rachel and her vast generosity of heart and spirit. And Rachel will hold the whole world in her care forever.

I am deeply grateful to have known Rachel, to have been touched by her, and to have been her friend. I send you my care and deepest sympathy for her loss.

Nana,
I wish I could have known you before this illness took your mind. It amazed me though as people continued to pour in near the end that they all spoke the same truth. You lived a life of love, service and prayer unto our Savior.  I can’t imagine a more worthy legacy. 
I will never forget those brown eyes particularly when you found your daughter’s eyes. You would share an unspoken moment with her. It was obvious that your mind experienced clarity as your eyes and hearts communicated with one another. 
We rejoice with you Nana that you finally got what you always wanted, to be in heaven with your Savior. We miss you here but know that you are infinitely happier there. 

There is no one on earth that could fill the type of friendship that Rachel and I enjoyed. Because of her Word of Knowledge, ministries began and flourished. Her intuitive gift of prayer was beyond anything I’ve seen before. Definitely a gift from God. I miss her so much but I know the glory she is experiencing is beyond anything we could imagine. I’m happy she is with Jesus and all our dear loved ones. 

From the Garcia family, we are so very sorry for your loss.  I will remember Rachel for the valuable things that she taught me during the early parts of my career.  Things that are important both at work and at home.  Rachel always reminded me of the importance of laughter, staying positive, and always smiling, even during difficult times!  It’s something that I practice daily and reinforced by Rachel when we interacted.  The last time I spoke with Rachel, I thanked her for teaching the importance of laughter, the power of positivity, and the impact a smile has on others.  Now I thank her daily by showing others that same.  Thank you Rachel!  You will be missed tremendously but never forgotten.  

Rachel Bennett will always have a special place in my heart.  I know many, many others feel the same.  God gave her many gifts which she used with ease and never refused anyone the time they needed to be with her.  She was a true prayer warrior and helped many through difficult times myself included.  She was also a very gifted leader and her ethics were above reproach.  She always made you feel that your purpose was essential and no one could do what you were here on earth to do.  She was the best example of a good, kind, caring, empathic person that was full of love for everyone.  I love you Rachel.  💕

Hi Nana! It’s me Lexi again. I wanted to tell you a memory I will never forget. I remember when you  used to take me and the twins to the grass park by our old house and we would have picnics and play games and it was so fun. I will never ever forget you. I love you so much! I love you. I miss you. Say hi to Jesus for me! 💜💗🫶

Love, Lexi (age10)

She leaves a legacy of faith, love, and joy behind. Grateful she is home now. Many prayers of comfort and peace are with all her family and friends. 




I love you, to one of the funniest, strongest, kindest hearted woman I knew. I’ll always remember the laughs, tears, and silly moments we shared. Every single moment with you was so special. To the nights we spent  bundled up in blankets in the cold while watching your favorite shows. Laughing and remembering. To the days we sat or walked and talked about our lives, your stories, family, Jesus, and more are times I will never forget. Nana was so strong, throughout her entire life, even through all the suffering she endured. Her independence, strength and resilience is inspiring. Nana had an outstanding effect on everyone she met and loved and cared for others endlessly. She will always be a role model to me. Rest in peace to my favorite ice-cream lover, always cold, well done in n out fries buyer, avid walker, storyteller, Starbucks enthusiast, and Jesus adorer. Nana was like no other, and she will forever remain in our hearts, our memories, and now heaven. We love you so so much, and we will miss you forever.  Goodbye Nana and may you rest in the most beautiful peace. 💗🕊️

Rachel and I were colleagues and friends for almost 40 years.   She was respected and admired by her colleagues for her leadership skills and abilities and   Loved by her many staffs and adored by her friends for her compassion and caring.   I was lucky to share many memories of good and challenging times together and our friendship always came first.  

Sincere condolences to her family.

I love you, Nana, so much. Hope you are having so much fun in heaven with the Lord. I miss you,  Nana, and I hope you are happier up there.
Love,

Dear Nana, 
I donated $20 to the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of you. I love you so much and I will never ever forget you. I will remember all the memories we made together. When it is time to bury you, you are going to be wearing a bracelet I made for you and a very pretty dress. Say hi to Jesus for me. 
I love you. I miss you. Have fun in heaven!

Love, Lexi (age 10) 

My deepest sympathies to all family and friends. Rachel has left her inspirational mark on all of us. Rachel was strong, kind, wise, devoted, and fearless. Not a week goes by I don't quote her to someone in healthcare.

May she rest in peace and her memory is certainly a blessing.
