Rachel Fagerhaug

d. June 20, 2009

Rachel Rayburn Fagerhaug passed into the presence of her beloved Lord on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at the Zumbrota Care Center, Zumbrota, MN.
Rachel Sibley was born in Mazeppa Township, Minnesota on October 17, 1907. She spent her childhood on the family farm and attended Red Bridge School, Bright School and Mazeppa Public School.
On November 26, 1935, Rachel married Irving (Bud) Fagerhaug at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. Irving passed away on December 24, 1977. She spent her life doing the things she loved - baking cookies, crocheting, reading, working crossword puzzles, music, attending family events and having coffee with her friends. Rachel was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Mazeppa where she spent many years corresponding with hospitalized members and as a member of the Ladies Aid.
Rachel will be dearly missed. She inspired and taught her family, through her example, to live fulfilling, Christian lives. She left the world a better place through her devoted and never-ending love, selflessness, and many simple acts of kindness.
