They lived in Sterling and then moved to Iliff where they resided for a short time before moving to the Lebsack family farm in Proctor where she was born and raised. Rachel was a farm wife for most of her life, but also worked for her brother Clarence at Lebsack Feed and Seed in Sterling from 1968-1982. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great- great grandmother who always had time for hugs and kisses for her family.
She loved her life on the farm and appreciated all her good neighbors. She took great pride in her flower and vegetable garden. She loved to cook and her table always had an extra place for anyone who happened to stop by at meal time and was lucky enough to experience a taste of Rachel’s wonderful hospitality.
In her spare time she could be found sitting at her organ playing hymns. The highlight of her week was going to church to praise God. She is survived by her children, Gordon Schuppe and his wife Earline of Iliff, Marla Jesse and her husband Earl of Akron and Jane Miller of Greeley; brother-in-law Gene Stumpf of Sterling and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was blessed with six grand children: Cinde James, Mike Schuppe, Jason Miller, Shelly Froggatte, Kevin Jesse and Kassi Schuppe; and ten great grand children, Dalton Schuppe, Dakota Bogner, Phillip Wise, Katie James, Michael James, Connor Jesse, McKenna Jesse, Breana Froggatte, Kendra Froggatte and Donny Froggatte; and two great- great grandchildren, Diem Schuppe and Raylan Pack Schuppe.
