Rachelle loved surrounding herself with her small group of people consisting of her two kids, Trivette and Whitney, to her niece Miranda, to her dearest of friends, Tish, Austin and Randy, and other family and friends talking about favorite memories and the funniest of stories such as Trivette causing a little bit of craziness with his cousin Austin by picking on his sister Whitney while growing up. She loved her grandkids with all of her heart. She was so happy and proud with the birth of her daughter’s first born, Remington and Trivette’s first born, Rhett. Remington and Rhett often reminded her of Trivette when he was little, full of energy and fun. She had such a bond with Remington and Rhett it was obvious to anyone who were to watch them. She loved all her grandkids, 6 to be exact: Remington, Rhett, Brantley, Rylan, Logan and Briyannah. She loved all the grandkids with her whole heart.

Rachelle loved her dogs: Kylie (aka Donkey) Kayla, Taz, Diesel, Duramax, Layla, Scarlett O’hara (aka Tweeter), Achmed (aka Simba), Willow, Cooper, Bear, Hades, Natalia, Natasha, Winchester (aka Chicken dinner), Grizzly, Stitch, Raven, Hawkeye, Sasha, Dakota, and Roxane. Rachelle loved her dogs with everything she had in her. From the goofy one to the one who was not wanting to use their doggy ears. She loved all animals. Her favorite holiday was Halloween; she loved everything about it. She loved watching horror films. She enjoyed doing arts and crafts, crossword puzzles, hidden object games, and her favorite video game was Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Rachelle unfortunately lost her battle with cancer. She fought with everything in her.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Harrison, her mother, Ruth Ann Swenson, her sister, Rachel Harrison, and her cousin, Tashlynn Casey.
