Rachael Richmond

Rachael was born in Iron Mountain, on April 16, 1983, to parents Kent and Kim Richmond. Rachael grew up in Kingsford and graduated from Kingsford High School in 2001. While in high school, she was a member of the girls golf team, chorale, student council, and National Honor Society. She attended Bay de Noc Community College before attending University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where she attained a degree in business.

Rachael had a smile that lit up the room. She was compassionate and kind to everyone she met and will be sadly missed. After relocating back to this community, Rachael enjoyed working at various jobs, especially working at M.J. Electric. She loved music and had a beautiful voice. She sang the National Anthem at KHS hockey games, as well as KHS football games and track meets.

Rachael is survived by her mother, Kim (Crago) Richmond; her uncle and aunt, Jeff and Gayla (Liddle) Crago; her aunt, Kathy (Crago) Elack (Rich); her boyfriend, Dennis Mattson; her uncle, Kris Richmond (Pam); her aunt, Karen (Richmond) Guyette; and several cousins.

Rachael is predeceased by her father, Kent Richmond; maternal grandparents Chuck and Darlene Crago; paternal grandparents Glenn and Carolyn Richmond; her aunt, Kim Marie (Richmond) Byrd; her uncle, Kevin Richmond; her uncle, Michael Crago; and her best friend, Kristen.

Kim and Rachael would like to thank the following people for their compassionate care for Rachael during these past few years: the hospitalist, Dr. Friar, the ICU nurses, the medical floor nurses, and the Guardian Flight Team at Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson, along with Dr. Cayemberg and staff in Norway. Also, thank you for the many prayers from our church family, friends and relatives.

Visitation for Rachael will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, at the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home in Iron Mountain. Services will follow at 3 p.m., with Pastor Chad Harrison officiating. Burial will be in the Commonwealth Cemetery.
