She had this uncanny ability to show up in people’s lives at their lowest point and through her accepting and loving ways, lift them to a higher plane. She always went out of her way to befriend the friendless. Children loved her and she was everyone’s favorite nanny and baby-sitter. She had a great sense of humor and a sharp wit, frequently throwing out hilarious one-liners. Rachel had a fun-loving personality and a kind, sweet, and generous spirit.

Currently, Rachel was working on her degree as a Veterinarian Technician at Broadview University in Orem, Utah. She later spent several months volunteering in an orphanage in Ecuador. During this time, she also served as the Laurel president in her ward. The friendships she built while there have been rich and enduring to this day. She graduated from Liahona Preparatory Academy in 2009, where she played soccer, was on the cheer squad, served as Student Body Secretary, and performed service in Mexico with her classmates. Rachel was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in Alpine, Utah by her parents, Rebecca and Sean Covey. She valiantly completed her mission on earth and her grandfather, “Papa,” will now shepherd her in the next life.

Our beautiful and precious daughter and sister, Rachel Covey, age 21, passed away on the evening of September 6, 2012, from the effects of depression which she had battled with for several years and was welcomed home by a kind and loving Heavenly Father.
