Rachel's Obituary and Funeral Information


In Loving Memory of our Beloved Rachel Lynn Edgar (Nee Arnold), who at the age of 35 has run ahead of us all in the race to join our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 14th, 2011.

  Rachel was born on July 16, 1976 to her parents Ed and Barbara Arnold. She was later joined by siblings Wayne, Betty (Biad), and Jim. Rachel attended Baptist Bible College in Clark Summit, PA. Rachel married her husband Rob Edgar in 1998 and later went on to have 2 boys, Dane and Ethan. She is also survived by her Maternal Grandmother Mary Burt.

Rachel loved being a home school Mom to her boys as well as performing the accounting for the family business, (Ed’s Rental in Erial, NJ), in which her husband and father partner in.

Rachel's passion in life was to love and serve the Lord by helping others. She was constantly volunteering, whether it be through couponing to help single Moms in need, going to downtown Philly to feed the homeless, or helping to teach in her women's Heart to Heart Bible Study at Fellowship Alliance Chapel.

Rachel also loved to run and even ran in two 13 1/2 mile half marathons last year after having had six chemo and 39 radiation treatments. Rachel enjoyed working out and eating healthy foods, which helped her stay strong even after going through those intense treatments.

The family, Rob, Dane, Ethan, Ed, Barbara, Wayne, Betty, and Jim would like to extend a sincere thank you for all the meals, cleaning, prayers, and support provided for us to allow us to spend more time in caring for Rachel while she was sick.

Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Saturday from 5:00 – 9:00 PM at the BRADLEY & STOW FUNERAL HOME, 127 Medford-Mt. Holly Rd., Medford, NJ. A Celebration of her life will be held on Sunday at 6:00 PM at the Fellowship Alliance Chapel, 199 Church Road, Medford, NJ. Interment will be private in the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Berlin, NJ.


Rachel has requested donations be made to one of the ministries she volunteered for regularly: Feeding 5000. Please see www.Feeding5000.us for details. Please put Rachel Edgar in the memo section of the check.
