Rachel McDonald

d. Jul 8, 2026

Rachel "Ray" McDonald, 83, passed away on July 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Ray was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose greatest joy was caring for those she loved. As a stay-at-home mom, she built a home filled with warmth, kindness, and generosity. She had a remarkable talent for crafting and especially loved knitting and creating countless handmade gifts that will be treasured for years to come. Ray was social, fun-loving, and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome. Her caring spirit, sense of humor, and willingness to help others touched the lives of all who knew her.

Ray is survived by her beloved husband, Ken McDonald; her children, Kenny (Anna), Karen, and Keith (Mary); her six cherished grandchildren, Kenny, Allison, Dylan, Alexandra, Jaxon, and Sienna; and her loving sister, Rebeca.

Ray's love, kindness, and generosity will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

or Lift Jesus Higher Fellowship in honor of Rachel McDonald.
