Rachel Taylor-Saghie Obituary

Sure do miss wonderful Rachel and send our love to the whole family. Margaret and Danny Pacheco

One of my favorite memories is walking from Panlap Sierra Leone back to the Peace Corps training camp during a very dark night. As we walked past villagers out playing music and dancing, Rachel and I were invited to dance with the locals which we did with gusto. After a few dances it was made clear to us it was time to leave. As we continued on we remarked how incredible that moment was. That was just the start of our experiences in Salone. Rachel, Bless You and I hope you are dancing with the Angels right now.

Learning of Rachel's death has stunned me - how could we not have known that this bright spirit, this force of nature - has left this earthly plane. One of my best memories was with Rachel and myself walking from Panlap back to the Peace Corps training camp and the local villagers invited us to dance with them in the dark, dark night. What is to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? Bless you Rachel, I hope you are dancing with the Angels. Kathleen

I am stunned to hear of Rachel´s passing. We served together in Sierra Leone As Peace Corps volunteers and became very close. Rachel was a force of nature and an amazing friend. We lost touch after her first wedding but reconnected in the 2010´s for awhile. She loved her daughters and being a mama most of all. I cannot imagine how devastated they are by her loss. Please know that I´m sure your mother spirit continues to watch over you. Kay Crawford

I am sorry to learn of Rachel´s passing. We served in the Peace Corps together and she was as lively as she was intelligent, and always willing to help. My sympathy to her loved ones. Dave O´Neill

So so very sorry to learn of Rachel's passing.

We are so devastated to hear the news. Rachel was a passionate defender of the underserved in our community, the fiercest and most loving mama bear and a truly loyal and sincere friend. She will be missed by so many.

Heartbroken is all that I can say. Cannot explain how much I will miss you, your soundness, smile and council.

I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of Rachel´s passing. Rachel was a good friend.she was such a sweet, compassionate, and beautiful woman inside and out. She´s truly going to be very missed. To her daughters and her family. I´m keeping all of you in my prayers.

Rachel served on the Local First Board with me and I am very saddened and bewildered to hear of her passing.

She was a very giving, loving, and passionate supporter of many good causes in our community and we have lost a crucial voice for equity and local business.

All my family's condolence and sympathy go out to her wonderful children and family.

I am deeply saddened to know of Rachel's passing

I know her from Habitat and grateful for her warm and knowledgeable support!

She always greeted me and my daughter Bryn and I won't forget her and the world she continued to make possible and secure for both our futures!

Wherever you are Rachel, I send you love and hope for you family. I won't forget you!

We were neighbors for years and I am deeply saddened. She loved her girls and gave so much to the community through Habitat. I can´t believe she´s gone

Miss Rachel lots. She was a friend and an effective advocate/leader for those in our community in need of affordable housing.

What a shock! Rachel was such a kind soul! I enjoyed working with her at Habitat. My family will pray for peace and understanding for her and all those who loved her.

I met Racheal in 2000, when I started building my Habitat home. She was always a wonderful person to talk to. She has been there for me many times, as a mentor, a listener and a cheerleader. She was a great part of the success of many home owners and of Habitat for Humanity. She encouraged me to do more.
You will be missed. Prayers of comfort and peace to your families.

What a truly lovely and loving woman! I´m so very sad and in complete shock. My heart hurts for her beloved girls. I´m so very sorry.

So much love for her children and family and friends was always there. Her passion and concern were examples to follow. She will deeply missed by us and so many. Condolences to her family and friends.

An amazing woman, she will be missed.

I spent time with Rachel only a day before her unexpected passing. She was passionate about her work and children. Heartfelt condolences for this big loss to our community.

We send our love to Janice and Brooks.
