Rae Lynn Driesbaugh

Our sweet beautiful Rae Lynn passed away peacefully on September 21st in Omaha Nebraska. Rae had a long courageous battle with heart failure after being diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy in 2019. Rae was born in Rapid City, South Dakota to Ray and Richelle Driesbaugh. She was welcomed by three older siblings Leah, Autum, and Kolton. Rae was very sweet, kind, and showed unconditional love to everyone she met. She was a big video gamer and loved Youtube. Rae loved the White River community and was lucky enough to make some very close friends at the elementary school. Rae loved spending time in her mom's classroom after school and coming home to help her dad with the chickens, cats, and dog. Her favorite cat Boots was always by her side.

Rae loved spending time with her family which includes her Dad (Ray), Mom (Richelle), sisters (Autum and Leah), brother (Kolton), Grandparents Sharon Kearns, Bill and Katrina Bounting, Mona and Monty Lawson, Aunts and Uncles Jason (Stephanie) Kearns, Ed Kearns, Eric (Sarah) Bounting, Kendra (Luke) Boehler, Breanna (Bill) Reis, Joshua (Sarah) Lawson, Jeremiah (Julia) Boehler, and numerous cousins and other relatives.

There will be a celebration of life memorial for Rae on October 13, 2024 in the White River Community Center at 11:00 am. There will be a community lunch to follow at noon. We would encourage everyone to bring bubbles to blow at the end to share in one of Rae's favorite activities as we heal together as a community and pray for other children of our community affected by medical conditions.
