She waitressed at Tebo's restaurant in Milwaukie, OR while putting herself through broadcasting school.

She played on a bowling league, where she made friends with her life-long BFF Betty.
She was married to Richard White on March 21, 1992.
Rachel had a passion for singing and playing music. Her beautiful voice led her to attend broadcasting school. Upon graduation, she worked for Benson High School's radio station, KBPS. That led to her working for Portland Public Schools until she retired from the district in 1993.
She will be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor and outgoing nature. She made friends just about everywhere she went; often creating lifelong friendships in the most random places. Once you love Rachel, you love her forever.
Rachel was a single mother for a large part of her children's lives. Despite the difficult task of raising children alone, Rachel's children grew up to be successful adults. Throughout her life, her greatest joy was celebrating her children's accomplishments.
