Obituary for Rachel Alease Griffin
There is an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone. And there is a light we cannot see, our Father claims his own. Beyond the gate our loved one finds happiness and rest. And there is a comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best. RACHEL ALEASE GRIFFIN departed this life on Saturday, November 3, 2007 at Ruxton Convalescent Home, Forest Hill in Richmond, VA after a lengthy stay. She was born March 4, 1926 in Amelia, VA. Rachel joined and was baptized at Union Branch Baptist Church at an early age where she remained a member until her death. Rachel moved to Richmond where she worked until her health began to fail. She was a quiet spirited person, but spoke her mind when necessary. She was a loving and kind hearted sister, aunt, and great aunt. She loved her family dearly and will be missed by those who knew and loved her, including her Ruxton family.
