Rachel was born on July 8, 1988 in Gillette, Wyoming to her parents Randall and Ellen (Kitch) Omvig. She attended Grundy Center High School. She obtained her GED and went on to study at Hawkeye Community College and Upper Iowa University. Rachel was working her way through college as a desk clerk at several motels. She worked hard and earned a certificate as a CNA.
Rachel was a loving soul and enjoyed helping people and animals. She especially loved cats and dogs and had two cats of her own. In life Rachel gave of herself and that continues after her death as she selflessly chose to be an organ donor. Many people will benefit from her generosity. She will be missed and long remembered by her many friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her brother SPC Joshua Omvig, USA; her grandparents William and Jimmie Lou Kitch, Julian Omvig and John Kramer.
