Rachael Kennedy was a well-loved wife and mother who passed away far too early in life. Rachael was born on March 27, 1973, in Watsonville, California and passed on October 29, 2025, in Seattle, Washington.

La Maestra de la Vida
She was not a queen, but a force of nature,
Sun-kissed and strong, with hands that knew the land.
From morning markets to a home filled with laughter,
She built our world with a loving, steady hand.
Her smile, a sunrise; her spirit, a river,
Carrying the stories of her mother and her mother before.
From abuelita's wisdom, she became a giver,
A constant, guiding star forevermore.
With tortillas, and whispers of Dios,
She was our strength, our solace, and our guide.
Her love, a rebozo woven with the deepest fibers,
A tapestry of memories where our spirits hide.
Now, in the quiet of a starlit night,
She dances with the ancestors, hand-in-hand.
And though we weep, our hearts are filled with light.
For she is gone, but she is never gone from our land.
May her memory be a blessing, a song, a prayer,
¡Hasta que nos volvamos a ver! (Until we meet again)
