Rachel Mae Stevens-Respicio passed away on Monday, January 9, 2023 at 39 years old, leaving a legacy of love and joy to all whose lives she touched. Rachel passed at her home in Catoosa, OK surrounded by her loving family.

Rachel was born on November 7, 1983, in Tulsa, OK to mother, Veronica Gregory and father, Harvey Barton. Rachel grew up in Tulsa and graduated from Daniel Webster High School in 2002.

Rachel worked in the mental health field, along with running a recovery house for those in need. She was very active in Narcotics Anonymous and the recovery community up until the day she passed away. Rachel was a big personality and loved deeply. She was truly one-of-a-kind, hilarious, and had one of the most energetic personalities. Rachel was a strong woman, overcoming obstacles of her own, while also helping many struggling with recovery and addiction. She always had a smile on her face even while fighting cancer and in pain. Rachel had a gift for finding joy where others overlooked it, and because of this, she left a little extra light behind for those that continue to cherish and love her.
