Rachel was a beautiful caring soul who never met a stranger, she loved everyone. She had a very deep faith in her Lord and Savior and gave him credit for every day of her life.
Rachel and her mother operated Chick and Rachel‘s Pup House in Navasota where they raised and sold registered Toy Poodles, Maltese, and Maltipoos. She had her favorites, Buddy and Lola, who followed her everywhere. A tropical fish tank and her cockatiel Kookoo were also a part of her daily enjoyment. Rachel loved spending time with family and friends, especially barbecuing and listening to her favorite music.
Rachel is survived by her parents Mary Jane and Thomas Eickenhorst, her sister Jennifer Lynn Eickenhorst, nephew Jake Owens, and grandmother Joan Sullivan. She is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Marty (Stegent) and Claude Eickenhorst and her maternal grandfather Eddie Sullivan, III.
A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. She will be buried in the Sullivan family plot in Oakland cemetery in Navasota, Texas near her beloved grandfather Eddie Sullivan, III.
We miss you Rachel!
Thank you so much for your prayers when she needed them the most! You’ll never know how thankful I am for you two! I love you both and Rachel thought the world of you too
ChickJennifer and Thomas, I am just heart broken to hear this. Rachel will always be remembered as the Sweetheart she was. Prayers and love to you all❤️
I will always remember Rachel as a sweet girl, who loved her family without limits. Fly high, Angel. Chick and Thomas, I am praying for strength.
Loved your sweet baby girl….crushed and heartbroken.
She still sleeps on my pillow just like you taught her!
I can only imagine the reunion when you arrived at Heavens Gate and the gate of the Rainbow Bridge opened.
Rest in love!
So sad for the family
My heart is broken, Rachel was the sweetest person. I will never forget all the times we shared at my shop grooming the dogs and talking about everything under the sun. She always remembered my Birthday and made sure a cake was baked by her Mom and a few she even did herself. She always made my day with her beautiful smile…she will be missed dearly.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Rest In Peace Our Dear Sweet Rachel.
My deepest condolences, Chick. May your sweet Rachel Rest In Peace. Your dear family was a huge influence on me growing up and I cherish those memories. With love, Cathy Weaver Ferguson
