Rachael Lee Ochoa unexpectedly passed away on May 21, 2022.

Rachael was born in Hearne, Texas to proud parents Belma and Margarito Ochoa on July 27, 1987. She was raised in Franklin, and was the beloved younger sister of Margarito Ochoa Jr. and Cynthia Ochoa.

Rachael was the proud mother of four beautiful children: Aron Wymola, Alea Ochoa, Beatrice Ochoa, and Veronica Ortiz. She was joyfully expecting her fifth child, Paisley, due in August. She cherished all of her children and the memories she made with them throughout their years together. The love and pride she felt for each of her children will continue to live on through them.

Rachael was the life of the party. She was bold and beautiful and not afraid to speak her mind. She had a lively personality and a fun-loving spirit. She enjoyed all kinds of music from Ramon Ayala to Mary J. Blige. She loved to dance the cumbia when she was celebrating with family and friends. She enjoyed spending time at the lake swimming and going camping. She also treasured the times she spent fishing and horseback riding with her son Aron.  Rachael had an unbreakable bond with her sister Cynthia. They always had a great and memorable time whenever they were together. Rachael was a true beauty and loved having fun with fashion. She and her sister enjoyed doing their makeup and nails together. It was another way that they connected. Rachael loved to tease her mother and would affectionately pinch her elbows to get her attention. On her last day at home, Rachael spent quality time visiting with her mother and brother, a memory they will forever cherish.

She was a wonderful friend to many people, especially her best friend Gary Williams who was dear to her heart.

The life of the party has gone home, though Rachael's light has left our lives her precious memory will shine on even after death. We will find her in the music that reminds us of her joyful laughter. We will see her big beautiful eyes and shining smile reflected back to us from the sweet faces of her children. Rachael's absence from this world will greatly be felt by all who loved her. We thank God for the time we had with her and the treasured memories we made with her.
