Rachel Ramona Brown, affectionately known as "Penny," was born on October 31, 1962, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and completed her earthly journey on July 3, 2026, in Abilene, Texas, at the age of 63. Rachel spent most of her childhood and teenage years in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, where she attended Wilkinsburg High School and graduated in 1980. She went on to pursue a career in the United States Armed Forces. Throughout her life, Rachel accomplished many wonderful things through marriage, motherhood, and a variety of jobs and career positions. The second oldest of five siblings, Rachel carried herself with a bit of bossiness that only an older sister could get away with. She was an exceptional artist and poet who loved the outdoors, gardening, and fishing. Her relationship with God was deeply personal, and she spent her life seeking His truth - and we believe that she found it. Penny was also an excellent dancer who grew up loving Soul Train, and one of her favorite artists was Natalie Cole. Penny's love and compassion for her neighbors always showed up in the form of a full dinner plate. She would give anyone anything she had, and she will be forever remembered - and truly missed - by all who knew her. Rest easy, Penny.
