For 36 years, Rachel shared a loving marriage with her husband, Jerry Cain. Their life together was built on commitment, companionship, and enduring love.

She is survived by her daughter, Morgan Shelley, and her husband, Johnathon; her son, Dillon Cain; and her beloved grandchildren, Solomon Shelley and Wyatt Shelley. Rachel delighted in her family and took great pride in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Her love for them was constant and unconditional, and she gave of herself freely in ways both seen and unseen. Her family will forever remember her as the heart of their home and the one who loved them most deeply.

She was preceded in death by her father, Reverend Cecil Coleman and her step-mother, Fae Coleman.
Rachel had many interests that brought her joy throughout her life. She loved Alabama football and followed it with enthusiasm and loyalty. She also enjoyed reading and music, both of which offered her comfort, reflection, and happiness. These simple pleasures were part of the life she lived so well, and they reflected the thoughtful and appreciative nature that so many admired in her.
