RACHEL GAMBLE
MEMORIAL FUND
We lost our daughter Rachel Michelle Gamble on April 29, 2018. One day she is physically fine then suddenly our healthy girl became sick and within thirty-six hours she had left us.
It was sudden, it was unexpected and it was devastating.
Rachel will always be remembered as someone who brought joy and happiness to those around her and she saw the best in everyone. She had a zest for life and approached each and every obstacle before her with a heartwarming smile and a positive attitude. Her passion in life was to not only fulfill her own life goals but to make an impact on the lives of those around her.
We truly feel she was destined to make that impact, not only in her community and among those she loved, but with those who never had the opportunity to meet her, the chance to know our special girl.
With this in mind, we have started the Rachel Gamble Memorial Fund. We feel that through this fund we will be able to not only honor Rachel’s legacy but also help others who face the same challenges in life that Rachel met with such style and grace.
The Rachel Gamble Memorial Fund was established to provide college scholarships for graduating student-athletes at East Hamilton High School who share Rachel's spirit, character, and heart for others. The fund will also sponsor student-athletes who wish to attend Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Camps, help with the cost of local FCA Huddle Groups and youth mission trips, as well as care for the Chattanooga homeless community. As the fund grows, our hope is to provide assistance to many East Hamilton community organizations that embody Rachel’s passions.
Congratulations Anna & Susanna!
Two Motlow State softball players, Anna Sullivan and Susanna Cruit, were awarded privately funded scholarships this year in honor of Rachel.
Anna, who is studying Elementary Education and plans to earn her Bachelors Degree after Motlow, said about the scholarship: “This has made such a huge impact on my life. Receiving this scholarship has shaped me into a better person and made me appreciate what hard work can do for you.”
Congrats ladies!
