The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Rachel.

A person of true integrity, someone who cared for all and loved her children fiercely. Rachel was an independent woman who grew into herself after leaving a horrible marriage with a cheating man who destroyed her sense of self. My mother was a strong, kind and generous of heart. An independent woman who raised her children herself and grew her legacy for her children, is how she should be remembered.

Mum, your funeral was the most beautiful and incredible celebration of your life we could have possibly imagined. Thank you for teaching me how to try and live in acceptance and peace. You are bloody awesome, wherever you are in the universe. Bub xx

I met Rachel over 20 years ago when we were both in our early forties. I was invited to my then boyfriend’s work-related social function. Turns out I liked Rachel way more than I liked him and shortly after I broke it off with him! This is not to say that Rachel and I had romantic feelings for one another. Though that would be nice too. Rather, merely that we hit it off right away. Rachel’s amazing presence, personality and virtues can put anyone’s significant other into perspective. As you all know and iterated, she was a marvellous, feel-good, intelligent, entertaining and loving human being. She always wore her infectious smile and had deep insight into how to be a true friend. She was a compassionate listener, a great storyteller and had the strength to be vulnerable if she needed to. Catching up with Rachel always meant getting and giving huge doses of loving kindness and sharing heaps of laughter. I admired her for all the years I knew her. I could never fault Rachel. I was selfishly devastated when she moved to Canberra and missed her so much. I kept praying that she’d move back to Melbourne so that we could pick up where we left off and I could see her more regularly. It is a massive regret of mine that I did not visit her in Canberra. What a terrible mistake not to go and celebrate her Canberra life and support her in her times of hardship in Canberra. I am so sorry. I have to live with this painful regret. In my keepsake drawer, I have safe-guarded some gifts that Rachel presented me with over the years. I value them so much. Recently I held them against my chest and wept with despondency at her passing. She is irreplaceable and I am mourning her on a daily basis. I feel wounded and downhearted. I pray that I can keep in touch with her three precious children and their respective families. I feel deeply for you all. All my love, Elise

Every so often someone dear comes into your life. Rachel was one of those people for me. Selfless to the end, always putting other people’s feelings ahead of her own. Always, up for a laugh even when most other people would struggle with the same level of challenge upon them. Raw to a fault with her feelings that often exposed true, rare vulnerability. I will deeply treasure our last couple of catch-ups that reminded me again of what is really very important in our short stay on this earth. Rest up now Rachel, rest-up x❤️

RIP Rach. My sincere condolences to your family and loved ones. You were always a pleasure to work with and grateful I am to have known you. Michelle

In loving memory of beautiful, sweet Rachel.
So sorry to just hear of your passing. Rachel will be dearly missed; but her life & legacy will be truly cherished. Many years have passed since Goodnight/ Balranald days. So sorry for Rachel's life being taken too soon. Graeme & Wendy ,
Nigel, Edsel, Clayton and
Priscilla Dalton & families.

Rachel- generous, loving genuine and determined.
loved your sense of adventure and I especially loved sharing a few of those adventures with you. I will never forget your kindness opening up your home to me so many times in Melbourne, worried about me driving too much back to torquay.

Mum recalls a time you walked out of a restaurant thinking the other one had paid- talking too much- getting in the car and laughing your heads off that neither actually had (They did go back!)

Rach- you were such a wonderful person and your memory will surround us all.
To your beautiful family- feel proud, hug each other tight. Much love to you all xx

My thoughts are with Rachel's family and closest friends. Rachel was a great mentor and advocate for many including myself, her humor, kindness and selflessness will be sorely missed.

Rest in Peace Rach

You will be so greatly missed. Thank you for showing me unwavering, exceptional and incredibly appreciated kindness. You were a light for me in some dark moments and I will treasure these memories. Rest in peace.

Sending our condolences to Rachel’s family. Many memories of a beautiful young girl and then into the incredible woman you become. Thank you for all the wonderful times we had together. Thinking of you today and forever. Lots and Lots of love Aunty Dini, Uncle Pete, Kelv, Melina, Brandon, Abby and Harvey xxoo

My deepest sympathy as we remember the beautiful and full life Rachel has lived. It is so heartbreaking but I am convinced she is smiling from heaven and resting in peace.

Blessings,

Dearest Rachel, my heart aches for you and Pete, Julian & Brianna and their families.
Thank you for being a kind & generous aunty. Your love of adventure was infectious and I’m grateful you got me into cycling and the fun adventures we had.
Sending all my love

Dear Rach, in the time that I knew you, I feel that I learnt so much. We would sit down over tea and you would help me to understand some of the more intricate questions I had about life. You inspired me to achieve more and also to be content in my day at the same time. You lived this way too, always kicking goals and being happy in the small moments. I’ll always remember your cheerful wave as I drove past and the way you loved your family, and especially Molly and Jack. Thank you for looking out for me and for being someone I could always go to. You fought so bravely and I hope you’re looking down now and seeing the beautiful impact you had on those in your lifetime.

There are some people you meet in life that leave such a positive, lasting impression. You were one of those people, Rach - always greeting us with a big smile, a warm hug and nothing but kindness. We admired your strength so much and we are so sorry that you didn’t get more time. Rest in peace, knowing that your memory and spirit lives on in your beautiful family. Until we meet again, love the Reilly’s xxx

Sending love and hugs to Peter, Julian & Briana. Your Mum was so dear to all of us and my sadness cannot compare to your loss. To me she was a very dear friend who supported me through my health dramas, always listened and understood and was so much fun. I was lucky enough to share a holiday on The Larapinta Trail with her. Her courage and determination to keep on walking, despite sore feet and terrible blisters, was so inspirational. I guess it was one of her things. Thank you Julian, Peter and Briana for being so generous in sharing so much. She will live on in all of you, and also in my memories of her. Jane C xx

I was lucky to count Rachel as a friend. We are all lucky to have had her in our lives. I was lucky to cycle, travel and play with Rachel. Someone who was smart, so generous and so much fun to be with – cycling, travelling, dining out. Her determination was enormous – I am currently on walking holiday and am often thinking of following her up Mt Sonder when we walked part of the Larapinta. It was dark, it was steep and watching her step up and up was my focus as I climbed. She is often with me now, she will always be with us.

Thank you aunty Rachel for all your love and kindness. We will forever cherish the memories we shared in Singapore and Australia. You were a bundle of joy and sunshine, always giving the best, warmest hugs. Australia will eternally hold a special place in our hearts because of you. We miss you dearly.

Dearest Rachel,
Deeply grateful for our friendship, for your love, warmth and kindness. Thank you for the cherished memories, the laughter we shared, your beautiful smiles, the world’s best hugs, words of encouragement and all of our fun-loving adventures in Singapore.

You were the brightest light in a sky full of stars, an inspiration and a source of immense joy.

Rest in peace knowing that you were loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure. Forever in my heart, I miss you so much.

One of the classiest of women I’ve ever known. God speed.

Dear Julian,
Reading the heartfelt messages from friends and family it is evident your mum touched all those who knew her. What a remarkable and special lady who enriched many lives and leaves a memorable legacy.
Thinking of you and your family at this time.

Thank you Rachel for being such a wonderful trekking partner and friend. We had some amazing experiences and I will always cherish those memories. I will miss you Rachel but will forever carry you in my heart.

Gorgeous Rachel, I have such wonderful memories of our 10 day Tour du Mont Blanc in 2018. I feel so blessed to have met you and loved sharing this adventure with you.

Dear Julian and Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy, and I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate through this period of grief.

Shireen and I are so saddened by Rachel's passing - way way too soon. She had so much more life to live - she lived so enthusiastically - and so much more love and joy to give (and receive) - her special talent - making everyone feel included and special - and bringing light and joy to every occasion. And that's not to mention her many talents - a seriously smart woman. I met Rach in 2018 and taught her Nordic Walking - to help her achieve her lofty hiking adventure goals! Unstoppable our Rach. And of course - in true Rach style - in the middle of her treatment for breast cancer - jumped in to help us organise our big Capital Nordic Walking Mid Winter Solstice event in 2019- here she is enthralling everyone with a presentation on her Mont Blanc walk! what a trooper - in so many ways. Sending hugs and deepest sympathy to Rach's family and friends at this very sad time.

Thank you for being a lovely aunty to our children. You took them on many adventures during their childhood. You will be very missed. xxx

Dear Julian, Kate, Jade and Willow. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family for the sad passing of your beautiful Mother and Grandmother. She has obviously left a very special mark on you all I know she will be very sadly missed. I know her legacy will live on in you all and provide strength moving forward, in a world a little worse off with a beautiful shining light no longer with us. Love and prayers to you all. Sophie, Ted, Flynn and Sascha xxx

Dear Julian and family
Although I didn't have the privilege of knowing your beautiful mum. I can see the strength and character she instilled in you. Her legacy will undoubtedly live on through the memories and values she left behind. May the cherished memories you shared bring you comfort and solace ❤️

I pray for strength and comfort for you and your family during this very difficult time.

With deepest sympathy
Jaz and Rob ❤️❤️

My beautiful, fearless, brave, funny and loving cousin Rachel … Every moment spent with you was always one of great joy, laughter, empathy, connection and inspiration. I miss you more than words can say and will always love you. My deepest condolences to Julian, Kate, Peter and Briana and the grandchildren on their loss of an amazing, loving mother and grandmother.

Wonderful Inspirational Rachel - we met on the 2018 Tour de Mobt Blanc trek! We hiked about the same pace so chatted alot as we trekked those magnificent trails - I was coming out of a bad head space and you were a fantastic listener! And you had some stuff to sort too! Thank you for being there! Then again after your breast cancer treatment you took on the challenge of Larapinta - awesome!!! Our last breakfast on May 10th you still looked fabulous despite the circumstances and so much wisdom from your experiences - you will be sorely missed by me - dedicating my upcoming Camino trek to you - you will be with me all the way! Glenys xx

Our deepest condolences to Julian and the entire Muldoon family on the loss of your beloved mother, sister and grandmother.

May her spirit and cherished memories provide you with strength and comfort during this difficult time.

May she rest in peace.

Rachel was one of the most loving, caring people I’ve ever known. She raised me alongside her boys as if I were her own. I looked to her like a mother; Pete and Jules like brothers. She had a huge impact on my life and I will miss her immensely.
The world is a lesser place without her in it.
Rest in peace my dear Rachel, I will love you and cherish your memory always.
Huge condolences and sympathy to her three beautiful children and their families xxx

Forever in my heart. Rest now, the fight is over.

Rachel. When I think of you, it iwill always as be as someone who was caring, nurturing and mischievously good humoured. My condolences to all your nearest and dearest. You were much loved. So long, Rachel.Your next adventure awaits.

Rach was one of the nicest people on planet earth.
She was always smiling, laughing….
She was eternally selfless and would always be so genuinely interested in how I was going and what I was doing.
She always made a real effort to make whoever she was talking to feel really special.
Rach was the real deal.
She was also tough as nails, probably one of the most active people I know. Rach was always biking and canoeing and going on insanely long walks.
A real go getter.
She lived life.
She lived for her family and stood steadfast when times got tough and supported those she loved no matter what.
We will all miss you Rach.
I’ll see you down the cosmic highway.
Love Fraser

I did not have the pleasure of really knowing you Rachael, but my heart mourns your loss for the dear grandchildren you leave behind, who have not had the chance to grow up with your love and guidance. To all your family who have shared and supported your final courageous battle, my sincerest condolences, may they find peace and solace that you are no longer in pain and without doubt in a better place. Look down on them with love .
Chris, beloved partner of Jade and Willow’s Opa Frank ( deceased 5.12.2022)

I knew Rachel for a short time, but she always kind, warmhearted and wryly funny. I wish I'd had more time to know her better.

Oh dear Rachel...
A super-woman, proud and independent. An amazing professional, remarkable mum and nana. The owner of such a positive energy and attitude, with extreme care to all of those who were dear to you.
You will be immensely missed by us, but the Heavens are rejoicing on the arrival of such a beautiful person. Your smile, caring nature and legacy will forever live in our hearts.

Dear Rach, even though I have known you only for a short time, I have always enjoyed working with you. I think of you as the person with courage and strength, who achieved so much but at the same time was so humble. And your wicked sense of humour.. who could forget that! May you rest in eternal peace. You will be missed!!

Rachel, a woman of strength, resilience, love, and zero time for BS.

To Rachels family, I am sorry.
I am sorry your darling mum, sister, aunty, grandmother was taken far too soon. She had so much life to live.
However, her legacy and love for life will always live on through each of you.

Rachel was my beautiful, adventurous, tenacious, cheeky and ultra loving sister. She was also a great friend to both Trev and I. I love you Rachel and so dearly miss you. My love to her beautiful children and grandchildren at this time.
