Rachel Denise Dinsmore's Obituary
Rachel Denise Dinsmore, 66, of Rixeyville died Wednesday, December 19, 2018 at her residence. She was born April 5, 1952 in Maine to the late Edmond and Flore Laliberte Bouffard.
Rachel attended Precious Blood Catholic Church. She had a very strong religious faith. She grew up in a home where the Holy Rosary was said every night after dinner. She attended Catholic school and was taught by nuns. Her faith carried her through life and she attended Mass every Sunday. She believed in Miracles and was praying that she would be one of the Blessed. That was not to be. But now she is at peace. She is an angel keeping watch on all her loved ones who were blessed with knowing a gentle, kind and loving soul.
