Rachel Michelle Arrington, 44, of Chandler, Texas, passed away on August 22, 2025, in Tyler, Texas. She was born in Denton, Texas, on June 17, 1981 to David Arrington and Barbara Ann Taylor.

Rachel, otherwise known as Michelle was the embodiment of strength. She carried the weight of life's challenges with grace and determination, never letting anything break her spirit. No matter how hard things got, she stood tall — not just for herself, but for the people she loved most.

Her love for her children and her husband was boundless. She loved with her whole heart — fiercely, unconditionally, and without hesitation. Her family was her world, and she gave everything she had to protect, support, and uplift them. You could feel her love in every hug, every word of encouragement, every sacrifice she quietly made.

Rachel lived with a fire that couldn't be dimmed. She was passionate, bold, and full of life. Whether she was fighting for what she believed in or simply laughing at the kitchen table, she did it with intensity and heart. That fire lit up the lives of everyone around her, and it will never go out.

Rachel is survived by her husband, Michael Hyatt of Chandler, Texas, her daughters, Nikki Bartel, Evelynn Bartel and Raylee Hyatt, of Chandler, Texas, Son Cody Arrington, of Chandler, Texas, Step Daughter Jenna Fogle, Step Sons Joseph Fogle, and David Fogle of Mabank, Texas, Sister Amanda Gardner of Krum, Texas, Brother Jeremy Arrington of Krum, Texas, Mother Barbara Ann Gardner of Krum, Texas and many nieces and nephews

She was preceded in death by Daughter Kassie Lynn Bartel, Step Father James Gardner, and Mother in Law Connie Lou Tolbert.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the Chapel of DeBerry Funeral Directors.
