Rachel was born on April 19, 1974 to John Ziebell and Leni (Wright) Hagen in Neenah, Wisconsin. Right from the start she was sweet and sassy, traits she carried her entire life. She opened her home and her heart to those in need. Not one to pass up the opportunity for cheerfulness even in the worst of times, it is no wonder she gained many wonderful friends over the years. Rachel is a graduate from Cathedral High School; attended the College of St. Benedict and received her Master’s Degree in Education Administration from St. Mary’s University. An awarded educator and advocate for special education, Rachel’s kindness, compassion and love touched more lives than can be imagined. The community of St. Cloud, and well beyond, is a much better place because of Rachel’s passion and enthusiasm.
Rachel is survived by her son, Andrew John Neutzling IV; parents, Leni Hagen and John (Donna) Ziebell; sisters, Martha Sullivan and Freia (Robert Rhodes) Hagen Westbrook; brother, David Ziebell; nieces, Paige Neutzling, Molly Sullivan, Maggie Sullivan and Mina Westbrook; nephews, Lucas Neutzling and Jack Sullivan; former husband and friend, A.J. Neutzling III; significant friend, Ray Drown; many loving aunts, uncles and cousins who were prominent in her life. Rachel is preceded in death by her stepfather, David Hagen.

AJ, so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless you all, and may Rachel rest in peace.
To the family of Rachel, Rachel was a kind and generous person. My daughter and I both knew her. My prayers are with you today. I am sorry for your loss.
I met Rachel through Ray about a year and a half ago. She was an inspiring person. I have never known anyone who cared so much for others and truly wanted to make sure they felt the very best about themselves I have some text messages from her that I will never delete because it makes me feel so good to read them. She did so much for others while fighting her own battle with cancer. I will never forget her. Prayers to Ray and family and friends.
Sorry for your loss. She will always be remember. She is my inspirational teacher and friend.
