The daughter of Wileen(Mallett) Curtis was born April 17, 1982,in Harrison. Rachel was a beautiful young lady with a bright future destined to shine. Some of her many accomplishments in her life included being high school valedictorian and graduating college Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Business from the College of the Ozarks. Whether at work in Human Resources at FedEx Freight, or at the lake fishing,Rachel was a true blessing to be with. Rachel made a lasting impression on all those she met in her short life but none greater than that of her small family of five. Her mother has lost a movie buddy, her father has lost a fishing buddy, her sister has lost a partner in crime, and her brother has lost his best friend. We all have lost someone great, but thank God for the time we had. "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."

She is survived by her parents; a brother, Carson Curtis; a sister and a brother-in-law, Shauna and Logan Andres of Omaha. Rachel was an avid donator of blood as her part to save lives.
