Rachel Marlene Engelhardt, 43, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away February 16th, 2026.
Rachel made her home on the Treasure Coast for the past 15 years after moving from South Florida. She built a life filled with meaningful connections and simple joys. Known for her warm smile and generous nature, Rachel had a special way of making others feel valued and cared for. She worked in customer service for many years, where her natural friendliness and compassion shone brightly, turning customers into friends.
An avid animal lover, Rachel’s heart extended not only to people but also to her cherished pets, including Maggy AKA: Moo Pie, Mauy and Maddox AKA: Fat boy, who brought her constant comfort and happiness.
In her final act of extraordinary courage and generosity, she chose to be an organ donor. Through this selfless decision she became a hero. Because of her, families were given more time, more memories and renewed hope. Her legacy is one of love-a love so powerful it continues to beat, breathe and live on.
Rachel leaves her memories to be cherished by her mother, Denise Bowman of Fort Pierce, her father, Michael Engelhardt of North Carolina, her brothers, Michael Engelhardt Jr of Vero Beach, Eric Engelhardt and his wife Tanya Engelhardt of Vero Beach. Her nieces and nephews, Lianna Engelhardt, Aubrie Edwards, Michael Engelhardt, Jonathan Engelhardt and Victoria Engelhardt. She also leaves behind her very loved Uncle Dennis, Aunt Diane and Uncle Boomer.
Rachel will be remembered for her gentle soul, generous heart and unwavering love for her family and friends. Her kindness leaves a lasting legacy, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A Celebration of Rachel’s life will be announced at a later date.

There are no words big enough for this kind of heartbreak. The loss of a daughter is a pain that changes you forever. I learned that the world keeps moving-but a mother’s heart never moves past her child.
I wish with everything in me I could take even a piece of this pain. But I also know this, our daughters love never leaves us. It lives in every memory, every tear..
Rachel was a woman who inherited your kindness and brought warmth and happiness into every room she entered and any one she met. She was a beautiful soul and very evident the bond you shared was very special.
In days or months ahead and the grief feels to heavy, remember I’m with you my friend. Love and Light may God surround you and your family.
