Visit the Harry H. Witzke's Family Funeral Home Inc. website to view the full obituary.
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Rachael, who left this world on February 14, 2025, at the age of 40. She was a light in the lives of all who knew her-a woman of deep kindness, unwavering faith, and a heart full of love for her family, friends, and community.
Born on January 24, 1985, Rachael dedicated her life to her faith and to serving others. She had a special love for children and found great joy in working with the children in her community.
Family was at the center of her world. A devoted daughter to her mother, Romilla David, and a cherished granddaughter to Marcella and the late Hamilton David, uncles, aunts, and cousins. She embraced every moment spent with loved ones and especially enjoying movies with them. Her generosity, laughter, and caring spirit made her a source of comfort and joy to all who knew her.
Above all, Rachael lived a life of deep and unwavering faith. She found strength and peace in her beliefs, always trusting in God's plan and offering encouragement to those around her. Her faith was evident in her compassion, her selflessness, and her ability to make everyone feel seen and loved.
She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, faith, and love that will forever be carried by those who were blessed to know her. Though our hearts ache in her absence, we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, embraced by God's eternal love.
A celebration of her life will be held on February 22, 2025 at Hope Assembly of God, at 11am, following a visitation from 10-11am.
The family welcomes prayers. Rachael was a reminder that kindness changes lives. May we honor her by carrying that kindness forward. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
