Rachel Marie Blasingame was a straight
A, National Honor Society student as a junior, at Mesquite High
School. Rachel shared her talents through her appreciation of
music, theater, and her concern for others. She played the
viola in the orchestra and planned on singing with the Mesquite High
choir. She was a thespian, winning awards for her work in
theater. Rachel also was a member of the American Sign
Language Club. Her true talent was realized through her
selfless desire to help other people.
Rachel was a leader in
her church youth group at Valley Creek Church of Christ and she attended summer church camps. Rachel loved being
involved in youth retreats, devotionals, and attended mission trips
with the church. Her spirit of giving included participating
at Special Olympics, homeless shelters, and in children's
libraries. Rachel read her bible under the covers at night and
made notes in it from cover to cover. She read until the pages
fell out and she had to laminate the outside pages.
Rachel
was involved with the Shattered Dreams program at Mesquite
High. She wanted to be part of persuading students not to
drink and drive. It was ironic that an intoxicated driver took
part in ending her life, but Rachel's spirit will continue to live
on in fulfilling college dreams for others.
