L'intime cérémonie du mariage se déroula dans la simplicité à l'église anglicane Saint-Paul, à Marbleton-Dudswell, dans les Cantons de l'est.

Le 6 septembre 2000 vers 3 heures du matin, Rachel s'éteignit chez elle dans le calme et la sérénité, en présence de sa soeur Colette et de Louis. Conformément à ses convictions et à ses désirs, elle fut inhumée à peine 14 heures après son décès sans avoir été embaumée ni déplacée à l'hôpital.
