Rachel worked for Lockheed Martin for 25 years, where she was admired for her dedication, professionalism, and integrity. Beyond her career, she was a woman of deep faith who delighted in serving others. She loved cooking, hosting gatherings—especially her memorable Super Bowl parties—reading, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
