Rachel JARVIS Obituary
Rachel graduated from St. Mary's Academy in June of 1946 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She then graduated from cosmetology school in Tekoa, Washington, and worked for years as a beautician, a profession that she loved.
While in Tekoa she married and had five children; Ron Jarvis, Kathleen Babbitt (Chuck), Susan Anderson (David), Cynthia Michaelbook (Ronald), and Gary Jarvis (Rita). She was an awesome grandma and loved her 12 grandkids and 26 great-grandchildren.
Rachel was involved in PTA, Scouts, Job's Daughters, and her beloved Ferris High School "Ham on Regal" annual play. As she represented each of her 5 children over the many years on stage, she never feared the hard work or being the center of attention from time to time! We all were very proud of her enthusiasm and devotion on stage.
She enjoyed crossword puzzles, bunco, dominoes, arts & crafts, and travel. She loved playing cards with her special friends at the O'Malley on East Mission. Rachel will always be remembered for her caring hospitality.
Professional services are scheduled for 12:30 pm on Friday, February 10, 2023, at Ball & Dodd Funeral Home, located at 5100 W. Wellesley Ave., Spokane, WA 99205. There will be a short graveside burial followed by a reception at Das Stein Haus located at 1812 W. Francis, Ave. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Rachel's life.
The family would like to thank Regency at Northpointe Rehabilitation Center, with extra love to Jeff and Andrea, whom our mother loved dearly.
