Longtime teacher in Tennessee. Most (or all) of her teaching career was in or near her home in Gruetli-Laager.
She worked at Oak Ridge for the Manhattan Project during World War II. I do not know her exact role; she may or may not have been one of the Calutron Girls.
Rachel was known for her bluntness and not sugarcoating difficult truths. If you wanted assurance about your figure, it was best to not ask whether a dress made you look fat.
She loved birds, particularly cardinals.
I have very fond memories of her prune cake. She once sent one to me in California, giving very firm instructions to my mother and stepfather to not touch a bite of it en route. (I did share).
In general she was regarded as "merely" a childless woman. She actually miscarried at least once, but didn't speak of it. I believe she would have been a wonderful mother.
