Racheal Danielle Barnes, 39, of Greensburg, Indiana, passed away on February 12, 2025. She was born on October 8, 1985 in Muncie, Indiana, the daughter of Randal and Tonya (Reed) Morris. On July 11, 2004 she married the love of her life, Ryan Barnes, and together they have five beautiful children and one in heaven.
Racheal was a faithful member at Hope Baptist Church of Sunman, Indiana. She took the responsibility of being a deacon’s wife very seriously and was always willing to step in whenever help was needed. She often blessed the church with her beautiful talent of singing and taught her children how to sing as well. The whole family often sings together for the glory of God.
Racheal worked hard at home educating her children. She also put a lot of energy into her childrens’ extracurricular activities. She took them to numerous sports and 4-H events and was always there for them in their victories and defeats.
Racheal was also excellent at hospitality. Every year Racheal and Ryan hosted a large 4th of July celebration at their home. Everyone that came felt loved and welcomed and made wonderful memories with the Barnes and Morris families.
Racheal and Ryan made many wonderful memories taking their kids to 29 National Parks throughout the United States. They visited all of the National Parks on the east side of the Mississippi, as well as the Grand Circle out west, which is the family’s favorite trip.
