Rachel graduated salutatorian from Douglas High School in 1929. She attended the University of Colorado for 3 years until the depression forced her to return home.

Pink and Rachel raised 3 children: Carol, Robert (Bub) and Julie, all born in Douglas. Pink became cattle foreman at Careyhurst Ranch where they lived for 3 years. In 1941 they became owners of the Abney Ranch between Glenrock and Douglas where they remained until 1948 when they purchased the George Marty ranch located between Hot Springs and Edgemont, SD. They lived there until 1975 when they retired and moved to Hot Springs. In 1992, they relocated to Westhills Village in Rapid City.
