To know Rachel Wicker was to love her! She was known as “Mere” to many and she touched the lives of everyone who got the pleasure to know “our Mere.” She was the rock of the family, the true matriarch, and the one who cared so deeply about every single family member and what was going on in their life. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. The memories and the legacy she left behind will last a lifetime. What an honor!
