    Rachel was born August 20, 1935 in Myton to Sanford and Mary Birch Stocks.  She married Don Ellis Ames on March 27, 1953.
    Rachel was so full of love and generosity for all of her family.  She had the ability to make you feel you were the most important person in her life.
    She loved the outdoors, traveling, rock hounding, visiting family and big reunions.  One of her passions was taking photos of wildlife and mountain scenery.  Her favorite past time was going on rides that started as one day and could turn into 3 days.
