She moved to the Goshen area in the early 1990s. She often said how she enjoyed seeing the horses in the fields and the open space of the area.

Her children will never forget her love and support as they grew up! Her daughter, Cathy, remembers, "Mom always understood the party didn't start until 11pm! She never gave a curfew but insisted on being called for pick up on late nights. Mom stood by me no matter what. I'll miss her forever." Larry, her eldest son's loving emotion – "I'm glad to have had her for 61 years. I love you, Mom." Her youngest son, Anthony, reflects, "We had a good Mom. She was always there for us and never had a problem giving us her greatest assets – her love and time. Thanks, Mom, for always being there and I'll always remember – I'm NEVER too old for you to give me a slap! LOL" Rachael's family will miss her at the table, her love, understanding, advice and support. Rachael's family invites you to join them to honor her on Monday, October 14, 2024 – 4pm – 7pm at Donovan's Funeral Home, 82 South Church St., Goshen NY.
