Born Sept. 12, 1924, in Kenova, W.Va., she was the daughter of Charles and Obie Barnette.
She graduated in 1946 from Huntington Memorial Hospital in Huntington, W.Va. as a registered nurse. Rachel worked as a dental assistant for two dentists, and she worked as a nurse in nursing homes and hospitals. For a short time she was director of nursing for a hospital. She also worked as a telephone operator for a telephone company, did home nursing care and retired as a receptionist/ secretary for the Catholic Commission. She was a member of the First Church of God on Akron Road.
Surviving are daughter Marisa (Russell) Hofer, Cuyahoga Falls; a son, Richard (Cheryl) Bash, Wooster; grandchildren Russell and Jonathan Hofer, Arthur Dreibelbis, Catherine Hofer, Anita Hill, Sherree Morris, Sheila Zoss, Shellee (Rick) Perry, Elizabeth (Daniel) McCarthy and Tammy (John) Barrington; 14 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Charles (Phyllis) Barnette, West Salem.

NOTE: Rachel's mother, Obie married Lacy Ferguson on 6 October 1920 in Lawrence County, Ohio, making him Rachel's biological father. According to the marriage record, this was her first marriage. I found another marriage record for her and Roscoe (Ross) Lewis, born 5 July 1900, in Lawrence County, Ohio. This record (dated 18 March 1922) shows that she was divorced prior to her second marriage. -- Research by Jamie Fink
