    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Rachel Durbin, lovingly known as Brooklyn Rae, an angel on earth, joined the heavenly angels on October 4, 2022 following a valiant battle from complications arising from childbirth.

    Rachel, age 22, was born in Chesapeake, Virginia, the daughter of John and Kimberly Gartman Durbin. Those who survive her to cherish her memory, in addition to her parents, are her two sons; Devon (father Devon Gunn) and Marcelo (father Marcus Johnson), maternal grandparents; Wayne and Josephine Brickhouse, paternal grandparents; Matthew and Georgene Durbin, sisters; Sarah Houghton and Bet Houghton, brother; John Durbin Jr., and many uncles, aunts, cousins and dear friends especially including Marcus Johnson and Devon Gunn.

    Rachel will always be remembered as that spunky, freckled face little girl who loved life and loves the people around her. She grew into a confident woman who was committed to her family and her opportunities to develop a fulfilling career. She was always there for her parents and grandparents, sisters and friends. Rachel was a caring and compassionate mother and her two sons were the guiding light in her sky.

    She was always there for her family and friends when they were facing adversity. Rachel was a bright energetic individual who had a wonderful and exciting future that was cut short way before her time. Each of us have fond memories of times with her in which joy, laughter and tears followed from the interactions that we would have with her. Those memories will remain with all of us for as long as we may live.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]On January 18, 1988, Todd and Claudia Wilcox brought a beautiful angel into the world named Shannon Victoria. She was born in Oakland, California, and raised in Denver, Colorado. From the time she was little, Shannon always saw the good in hard situations and difficult people. She had a passion for the underdog and stood up to bullies in school to defend those who couldn’t defend themselves. Her ministry started early. She was heavily involved in church youth group and went on many missions trips to serve alongside her family.

    Shannon would continue to grow into a beautiful woman, inside and out, while attending Oklahoma Baptist University to pursue a double degree in Special Education and Elementary Education. While there, she met her future husband, Drew, and began dating him after graduating. They would eventually get engaged and be joined in marriage on July, 27, 2013. They were best friends and did life together–joy, hurt, and everything in-between. She also loved serving in ministry with him, as she poured into many lives of young people. In June 2017, Shannon discovered she was pregnant with Asa James, and their lives began to change. They were looking forward to delivering him in February 2018. However, on December 29, 2017, Shannon experienced a tragic and sudden unknown health complication and passed that morning at St. Francis ER. Asa was immediately taken via C-section and fought for his life for 6 days until he went to be with his mommy on January 3rd, 2018.

    Shannon was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Samuel Wilcox.

    She is survived by her loving husband, James Andrew “Drew” Wright of the home, her devoted parents; Todd Matthew and Claudia Domingo Wilcox of Jenks, OK, 1 brother; Clayton Todd Wilcox of Seattle, WA, 1 sister; Lindsay Nicole Wilcox of Candia, New Hampshire, her mother and father-in-law; William Raymond Wright, Jr. and Susan Lee Wright, 1 brother-in-law; William Casey Wright and her grandparents; Bernice Wilcox, Sidro Domingo and his wife Joyce, Diane Calisesi and William Maxwell.

    Shannon and Asa will be forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
