Rachel Garvin Obituary

RACHEL LEAD A VERY INTERESTING LIFE. SHE WAS A FEARLESS ADVENTURER, A BOUNDARY PUSHER, A VERY FUN LOVING WOMAN. FROM MODELING SCHOOL IN JAPAN, ADS IN MAGAZINES & BILLBOARDS EVERYWHERE, TO CONSTRUCTION CLEAN UP CREW IN HAWAII, TO WIFE & MOTHER OF MAKAHA KEALOHA, LIVING ON A SMALL FARM ON A HAWAIIAN MOUNTAINTOP, NEXT- WAITRESSING AT A LOVELY HAWAIIAN RESTAURANT THEN BECOMING A POLICEWOMAN- WHAT COULDN'T SHE DO. AT THE SAME TIME BEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, SWEET WOMAN IN THE FAMILY. SHE ADORED HER FATHER AND ALL HER UNCLES AND REMAINED CLOSE TO THEM, THEY FELT THE SAME. SHE WAS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO HER AUNTIE CAROL. THEY SHARED A VERY LOVING RELATIONSHIP. WE WERE SO LUCKY WHEN SHE WOULD COME HOME TO CALIFORNIA WITH KAHA TO VISIT FOR OUR FAMILY REUNIONS AT THE GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL. I SPOKE WITH RACHEL RECENTLY FOR OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE. WE TALKED ABOUT LIFE EXPERIENCES. SHE MENTIONED HER MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER WHOM SHE IDOLIZED. I TOLD HER I WAS WRITING FAMILY STORIES, SHE SAID SHE WANTD TO DO THE SAME. SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A PRAYER SHE AND KAHA SAID EVERY DAY WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. SHE TALKED ABOUT HIM &HOW MUCH SHE LOVED HIM. HE WAS HER JOY. I SAID EVEN MORE REASON FOR HER TO WRITE HER STORIES. THINKING OF ALL THE LOVE & POSITIVITY IN HER SHORT LIFE BRINGS US ALL HAPPINESS. BLESSINGS RACHEL, WITH ALL OUR FAMILY ANGELS NOW.
