Rachael Leigh Fiege, 19, of Zionsville, IN passed away on August 23, 2013. She was born on July 15, 1994 in Indianapolis, IN to Richard Wistar Fiege and Angela Bellamy Fiege. Rachael graduated with the 2013 class of Zionsville Community High School, where she played soccer and was involved in many other school activities. Rachael was to begin her freshman year at Indiana University. She planned to study nursing and play club soccer. Rachael will be remembered for her exceptional kindness and giving spirit. She was an inexhaustible source of joy to others, brightening the world with her contagious laughter and energy. Rachael always found the good in others, and her presence brought out the best qualities in those who surrounded her. She loved the game of soccer, and the friendships she forged on the field endured throughout her life. Rachael was surrounded by loving friends and family, many of whom traveled to be at her side during her final hours. Rachael was a profoundly compassionate individual who donated her time to caring for children and teens with learning disabilities. Even today, Rachael continues giving to others through the organs she donated. Rachael is survived by her parents Rick and Angi Fiege; her brother Jeremy Fiege; grandparents Stan and Leta Bellamy; uncle David Fiege (Shari); aunt Margie White (Mike); great aunt Jean Boring; great uncle Don Fiege; aunt Sharon Repp (Bill); and uncle Robert Bellamy (Lettie), and cousins Robert, Sarah, Debbie, Kim, Betsy and Valerie. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Robert Wistar and Betty Jean Fiege.

Apparently I asked for a reminder from this site on the anniversary of Rachael's passing. I guess that is because your story touched all of us so deeply. Thinking of your family.

Mr. Fiege: I am so very sorry to hear about Rachel, I can't believe it. As her first Strength Coach at St. Vincent Sports Performance I can still remember training sweet Rachel and how quiet she was yet dedicated to her training. She was an awesome athlete and a kind, sweet soul-she will be missed dearly. Praying for God's strength for you and your family.

Angie & Rick, God's loving arms will hold you and the love of family and friends will lend support during this most difficult time. The loss of a child is life's most painful experience but happy memories will give you peace. I did not know Rachael but your generous gift to others tells us that the love she projected was an extension of her caring and loving parents. There is no doubt of your pride for your children but the exemplary example you set should be commended. Nothing but good parenting skills and a closely knit family could have produced such a beautiful child. May God's grace give you and your whole family strength and peace.

Sorry about double message !!

Greg & Linda Livingston

August 30, 2013

Rick and Angie,

Linda and I are so sorry to here, of the loss, of your lovely daughter. We know there are no words, to ease your pain. You will be angry , sad, and have many days and nights, asking the question why ? Only know that there are many things in life, we will never know the answer, as to why.
Children are not supposed to go before us, but as we know first hand, loosing both of our son's since 2011, that train of thought is no longer true. A child's death can destroy a family, don't let this happen to yours. Hold your son close, take care of him and yourselves.
We hope the best for your family moving forward. Someone told us, not long ago, your feelings are like the ocean, high tide and large waves , are the bad days, low tide and small waves are the alright days, but like the ocean, your feelings WILL NEVER GO AWAY !!
We hurt for you and your entire family, because we know first hand how you are feeling, and what you are going through. For truly, only those whom have lost a child , truly know !!!

God Bless You All,
Linda & Greg Livingston

Rick & Angie,

We are so sorry to here of the loss, of your lovely daughter. We know there are no words to ease your pain. You will be angry, sad, and ask WHY ? Just know there are some things in life, we will never why.
Children are not suppose to go before us, but as we know, loosing both of our son's in the last 2 years, that thought is no longer true. A child's death can destroy a family, don't let this happen to yours. Hold your son close, keep an eye on him, and yourselves, because just when you think all is well, the unthinkable can happen again.
We hope the best for your family moving forward. As we were told by a gentleman, whom had lost his daughter, 17 years ago, your feelings are like the ocean, high tide and large waves, are the bad days, low tide and small waves, are the good days, but like the ocean, your feelings WILL NEVER GO AWAY !!!
We hurt for your entire family, this should have never happened. We know first hand what you are going through. For only those whom have lost a child truly know !!!

God Bless You All,
Greg and Linda Livingston
