RACHEL DAIGLE Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 30, 2012.
EXETER - After a courageous battle with cancer, Purple Daigle passed away on a beautiful sunny day, May 27, 2012, in the comfort of her home. She was born May 20, 1948. Purple lived life on her own terms and with all her heart. To know her was to be amazed by her uniqueness, intelligence, sense of commitment and spiritual connection to the earth. Purple's adventurous life began in Providence, R.I. She graduated college in Boston and enjoyed a varied life including time on an Israeli kibbutz. Purple worked at CHCS and for many years at WBRC Architects, where she was proud of the company's many "green" projects. She traveled extensively before settling into her "earth friendly" life in Exeter. Purple is survived by her husband of 20 years, Kevin Daigle; her father, Howard Weiner; brothers, Jordan, Anthony and Bruce Weiner; and extended family in Maine, Florida and Israel. Purple shared many lifelong friendships - too many to list - you know who you are. In keeping with Purple's belief to be kind and one with the earth, giving back more than she took, Purple chose to be cremated. Her ashes will be spread far and wide by family and friends. A celebration of Purple's life can be shared 10 a.m. Saturday, June 2, at her home, 487 Tibbetts Road, Exeter. Please direct any donations to earth friendly projects. Be organic and recycle - make her smile!

I will miss seeing Rachel walking up the road and miss seeing her driving by and waving. This little part of Exeter seems lonely without her.
I hope she is walking thu her pines she planted so long ago and has a smile on her face because she has Harley and Bear and all her other pets with her again.
My condolences to all who knew her.

We knew each other many years ago when we attended Classical High in Providence, RI...she was the original rocker chick...and I was simply amazed by her. We only recently reconnected and I am so very, very sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to her dad Howard, her husband Kevin, and her brothers, Jordan, Anthony and Bruce and the extended family. May God console you together with everyone who mourns for the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem

Purple was so strong and thoughtful, interesting, reliable, free thinking, respectful, optomistic … so many wonderful traits all wrapped in the uniqueness of PURPLE. She cherished her family and friends. She loved sharing the traditions of hope & peace from every faith. We were so blessed to have been your Sister and Brother in-law, niece and nephew. Thank you my dear friend for enriching our lives.
Kevin, I am so proud of the loving care you brought to her final months. You were her anchor and brought her rainbows as you rode out the cancer storm together. Please feel at peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rachel was a wonderful lady with a great heart that touched us all. Although I only knew a small bit of who Rachel really was I will always think back fondly of the times working with Rachel at WBRC and what a privilege that time was. She had so many great qualities that made her stand out along with her love of life and her calming sprint as well as all that purple. She will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
