RACHEL ELIZABETH FULENWIDER
1992-2008
Rachel attended Whitewright High School and was a cheerleader and active in track, volleyball, and softball. She looked forward to starting drill team in the fall. She was full of love for family and friends. Rachel had a witty sense of humor, enjoyed music, baking cookies, reading, shopping and eating sushi. She was beautiful, respected, smart and loving. Rachel was a typical teenager who once wrote she appreciated all the benefits of the latest technology including her computer, phone, and hair straightner. Among her writings she included: "You may not have alot, but the important thing is to be thankful....be thankful for who you are and not necessarily what you have."
A favorite scripture found highlighted in her Bible reads:
"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4 Rachel loved God.
Rachel was a cherished daughter, loving sister, and faithful friend. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed. We love you sissy,punkin, cricket,Ray, Fulenwider, Lizzy,, Princess.
