STUMPFF FUNERAL HOME
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Rachel was born
on January 3, 1976 in Laguna Beach, CA to Jay Miller Neeley and Phyllis
Joan Neeley. She married David Dudley on May 18, 2001. Together, they
brought 3 beautiful children into the world: Autumn Iola (13), Audrey
Phyllis (11), and Jim David (9).
Rachel grew up in Porterville, CA where she graduated from Monache High
School with high honors. She went on to attend Brigham Young University
and earned her Bachelor's Degree. Rachel was a member of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At 21, she served 18 months in
Toronto, Canada as a missionary. David and Rachel began their life
together in Lehi, Utah and she soon started her work as a Cyto-Genetic
Lab Technician. After 12 years in Utah, they moved to Bartlesville,
Oklahoma where they have resided ever since.
Rachel developed a love for books and reading at a young age. There
weren't ever enough books for her to read. She quickly passed her love
of reading on to her children. Up until she passed away, Rachel spent
every night with her children reading a new chapter book they found at
the library. Rachel was always up for trying something new. She always
searched for new things she could experience with her family. Some of
her favorites were finding new places to explore and visit, trying new
crafts, riding roller coasters and visiting haunted houses during
Halloween. She enjoyed baking, watching cooking shows, listening to
podcasts and finding good shows on Netflix. She was so kind to everyone
she met. Her smile, sweet voice and witty humor blessed so many. She
never said anything negative about anyone. Being with her family brought
her the most happiness. It didn't matter what was going on; she found
joy in just being together. She didn't sweat the small stuff and went
with the flow of life.
A few months ago she wrote , "The breast cancer club is not a fun club
to have to join, but it is full of the absolute best people". Rachel
was THE best.
Rachel was preceded in death by her father, Jay Neeley.
She is survived by her brother Wesley Neeley, sister Alison Carter, sister Dawna Bentley and sister Jessica Farmer.
